Safari default, but Firefox for development tip....

I like Safari as default for general web-surfing, but I prefer Firefox for WebObjects development .... I just like the HTML/CSS/Firebug/ Selenium/etc/etc tools/plugins in FireFox for web development. However WOLips/Eclipse always autoopens in the default system browser ... well this was bugging me, so here is a tip if u want to hardcode which browser is auto-opened when you launch your WebObjects app in Eclipse ......... simply replace current file (was a soft link on my system) at:

/System/Library/WebObjects/Executables/WOOpenURL

.... with an executable shell script containing the following:

<snip>
#!/bin/bash

# Open argument  with firefox
/usr/bin/open -a Firefox $1

</snip>

You can specify any application you want with the -a argument. (Firefox or Xylescope or Webkit for example)

Regards, Kieran
