How can I change web browser preferences?

You can change which browser will open when you click Web links from Notes® documents: either the Notes embedded browser or the browser you have set as the default for the operating system. You can also change the default home page.

Procedure

To set a different home page, replace the Web address set by your administrator with the Web address of the page you want.
Note: To reset the home page to the original setting, click Use Default.
To change the browser used for opening Web links, click File > Preferences.
Macintosh OS X users: Click Lotus Notes > Preferences.
Click Web browser.
Do one of the following steps:
- To use the embedded browser, select Use the browser embedded in this client.
  This opens the Web browser in Notes; not in a separate browser window.
- To use the browser that you have already set as the default for your computer, select Use the browser I have set as the default for this operating system.
  This opens the Web browser in a separate browser window; not in Notes.
Click OK.

Results

The options you specify on this preference panel are applied to all your locations.

Note: If you enable advanced menus, your Location document has an Internet Browser tab where you can set the browser you use with Preview in Web Browser from the Domino® Designer menu. For that browser, you can choose Notes with Internet Explorer, Microsoft® Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Firefox, or Other (Mozilla, etc.).

Note: If you are configuring new Web page, feed, or Google Gadget type widgets, be sure to check the Use the browser embedded in this client option. To configure a new widget in context you need the target context displayed in Notes; not in an external Web browser window.
