[Draculusa]

Hi all!
I'm tryin Firefox now and would like to know if anyone could help me with the browser definitions for the fjwa.ini file...
Thanks in advance

Here is the browser section from fjwa.ini set up for Firefox:

[BROWSER]
install=1
startupurl=http://www.vzones.com
installurl=http://www.vzones.com/download.htm
VZones="C:\Program Files\VZones\vzones.exe"
program="C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
ddename=firefox

Is it normal that when i click an avie it always asks if i wanna open my browser, even if it IS already open?

After you change that section in your fjwa.ini file, you should close all of your VZones windows and probably close and reopen the launcher; otherwise VZones probably thinks your default browser is still IE or Netscape.

Thanks, that solved it

Personally, I would NOT bookmark a URL containing an unencrypted password; however, if your comfort level is different than mine, it does work just fine.

Just to chime in w/ a bit of additional info for those setting up for the first time: W/ the initial launch of VZ, FF will download the subfusion.cgi file and then popup a box asking what to do w/ it. You select the radio button for "open with.." and browse to this path: "C:\Program Files\VZones\vzmult.exe" then "OK" twice; when you're back at the main popup, put a check in the box near the bottom that states something to the effect of, "always do this action." At which point, your avie will be logged IW after clicking "OK." The "browser not running" error will usually either be from FF not being set as default or a typo in the fjwa.ini settings.

Mods: May wanna combine this w/ the fjwa.ini instructions and make a sticky.

The installation of the client creates a setting in the windows registry that a .vz file has to open with the vzmult.exe porgram in the VZones folder. This is not browser related but OS related.
Some browsers can't open through the client since the ddename of this browser can not be found, in this occasion the user will get the browser not running message. Clicking yes will open the browser which is set in the fjwa.ini file in the 'program=' line. Lately many "great thinking" ISP's have created their own browser which comes with their installation software, most of these browsers will result in the browser not found error.
Even if the browser you want to open with the client is NOT your default browser but IS set in the fjwa.ini correctly it will open THIS browser and not the default one. When the client loads it loads the settings from the fjwa.ini file and will use those settings.
