Light firefox preloader

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Light
2. Install Firefox Preloader(not the preloader addon)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffpreloader/

3. Try to give preloader firefox path to firefox folder on opening

In Lights case C:\Program Files\Light

4. This shows "Unable to open firefox from C:\Prog....etc
The operation completed successfully

5. But this does not preload Light

6. Workaround is to rename Light to firefox.exe in above path.

But this does stop light from auto opening html,http etc files which were 
assigned when light was installed and set as default browser.(changing it to 
firefox.exe causes this)

So I cant open hyperlinks from word documents or windows live desktop or 
similar applications 

Could you Kindly Look into this.

(unable to set default is happening in windows 8/8.1 havent tried it on windows 
7 / older OS)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

-Light 26.0 32 and tried on 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.

Sorted the issue   -silent did not work 

1. Install Light and Firefox Preloader

2. Copy light.exe from C:\Program Files\Light to desktop

3. Rename light.exe on desktop to firefox

4. Drop firefox.exe back to C:\Program Files\Light

____Now two files in C:\Program Files\Light   one is Light.exe and firefox.exe

5. Open Firefox Preloader from C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPreloader

6. Right click tray icon and choose "preloader options"

7. Browse and choose location C:\Program Files\Light

8. Pin Light.exe to taskbar

9.Make Light default browser in light options in menu bar

      dont click       --     Always check to see if light is the default browser on startup

10. Open a website/hyperlink from Windows Live Desktop App or any other method

Light has a higher https://code.google.com/p/lightfirefox/issues/detail?id=1
benchmark than all the other alternatives out there

eg:waterfox,PCX Firefox, Palemoon etc.   I tested all the ones on this link
