Any way to make Party work with Firefox?

[Lloyd]

I haven't found a way. FF is my default browser but Party still opens up IE.

i get the exact same thing....even though firefox is my default browser.

i can go to partypoker.com and login using firefox but when i click "my account" from the lobby it opens with IE.

anyone know if you can change this?

cheers,

I think I read somewhere that it is hard coded into Party that way. Something about the design of their software that just automatically uses IE. I guess you could appeal to Dikshit to change the software? Outside of that I'm pretty sure it's a lost cause.

There are two main ways to call a browser from a program: give me the default browser or give me [name of browser].

Since Party doesn't require any IE-only features (and in fact has worked better on Firefox than IE with the scratch card promotion), which method do you think they used? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

An update to Party's client is your only hope.

I agree that this is a complete PITA!
I just copy the url when IE opens, paste it into Firefox and close IE.
Takes a couple of seconds but still works.
It would be nice if it would just use the default browser though!

If I'm not mistaken, there should be a IE extension where you could choose what URL:s should open in Firefox instead. There's a similar one for Firefox (IE View), and I think I found out about the IE extension there somewhere. Google and pray!

Ok, I know you didn't mean this, but anyway...

I'm quite certain they use the Internet Explorer Control in their software (for HTML content, like the exit popup and the headlines in the lobby), so given that IE is needed to run Party, I guess they just chose to hard code it to use IE when opening URL:s.
