I know one place but maybe there are more to do.
If there were a shortcut to this in Wamp menu would be great I Think. It is good to se the websites appearance in several browsers

Hi,

To change the default browser of Wampserver, the only solution is to modify "by hand" in the wamp/wampmanager.conf file, the line navigator= like this:
;Path of the Browser used by Wampserver
;May be modfied with the absolute path of the browser exe file
;(Use / instead of \)
navigator ="J:/Com/Net/Firefox/firefox.exe"
If you find, in PHP, a simple way to retrieve the full path of a file, please let me know.

You will have to launch all the other browsers manually.
You only get ONE default browser. Look up the work DEFAULT!

Some things you just have to do for yourself. If we did everything for you, there would be no need for You.

Okey but there is a reason that I ask... When I put in any browser as a default browser in Wamp Wordpress got

problems. WPs editor for pages can't show alternative ways to input text and HTML

So WP has an page editor which wan't start correctly. If I just open a WP site with any browser(but not as default

in Wampsettings) it shows the WP editor correct.

Maybe You use a script that makes the Changes...Its only a question

Otherwise I suppose Its in Wordpress maybe contra win10 latetest update

Sorry to trouble You so much but the hole concept is important too me.

Are these WP page edit issues related to the new W10 browser "Microsoft Edge"?

We have no control over EDGE.

There shoudl be no reason why using any of the other browsers... IE/FF should cause any issues in this way.

Chrome has a lot of little foibles so that also may not be a great choice for the default.

Hi,

> Maybe You use a script that makes the Changes.
It is not possible to know what is the full path of the installations of the different browsers on a system.
The idea of getting the full path of a client's system is totally unacceptable to users. If this were possible, any site could obtain information from the customer's machine. This will never be possible simply for safety reasons.

The default Wampserver brownser launch local sites exactly the same way the browser would be launched by a shortcut with parameter from the desktop or from a command line.

start "J:/Com/Net/Firefox/firefox.exe" "[mysite"];
or
start "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe" "[mysite"];
