Question

How can I change eclipse's Internal Browser from IE to Firefox on Windows XP?

To be more specific I need to change the Internal Browser instead of adding the External Browser through Preferences -> General -> Web Browser.

Answer 1

In Preferences -> General -> Web Browser, there is USe Internal Web Browswer. And you can check "FireFox". i tried and no problem.

Answer 2

I don't know if this will help, but here's the SWT FAQ question How do I use Mozilla as the Browser's underlying renderer?

Edit: Having researched this further, it sounds like this isn't possible in Eclipse 3.4, but may be slated for a later release.

Answer 3

You can't!

Answer 4

Maybe I'll get the necromancer award for this one.

I like the Aptana Browser Preview windo for this.

You can get it from their update site: http://download.aptana.org/tools/studio/plugin/update/studio/

After you install the Aptana plugin, open an Aptana project and there should be an option under help to install aptana features. under other you will find a Firefox/XUL browser. There may be a more direct way to install the XUL plugin, but the above procedure works.
