Refresher needed on how to switch between browsers
|
Nancy Hill
Since I have left IE behind, I now have FireFox and MSEdge on my Win10 PC.
There are definitely times when I would appreciate knowing how to quickly switch from one to another and back. Instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, nancy

Do you mean how to close one and run another or do you want to have both running at once?

Nancy:
There should be an icon on the desktop for each browser. Just enter on the one you want to use at the time.

Hi all,
Just be sure the URL of the site you want is in the clipboard, then just exit one and go to the other. Ann P. -- Ann K.

Or for convenience, or perhaps some other reason, you can have both running. You can't have two different versions of Firefox running, I don't know about two Chrome or Chrome-based browsers but you can have Firefox and a Chrome based browser running simultaneously.

You can open both browsers at the same time . You can press enter on edge from your desktop, and then press windows and m to go back to the desktop, and press enter on firefox. Now, you can simply alt tab between the two opened browsers. You can have different browser sessions opened for each browser. If you get mixed up which browser you are in, just press insert and t to hear the title of the window and it will say Firefox or edge. Make sure an icon for each browser is on your desktop. You could also create a shortcut to open each browser like alt control and f for firefox, and ALT control m for Microsoft edge. To do that, go to the icon on your desktop and press Alt plus enter. Then, just tab to the shortcut key edit box, and press the key command alt control + m4 example for edge. Then you simply could press that command to open either browser. Take care, hope that helps. I will oh thanks for doing that

I had no idea you could have both 'on' at once. I was thinking to use one and then be able to switch to the other one if the need arose.

Hi Nancy. As previously stated, you can run both browsers at the same time, or switch between them as you wish. The only thing not covered is the process for making one browser the default. Did you require the instructions for that as well?

Hi Chris,

I will add, from recent experience, you can have two browsers running at the same time, but not two screenreaders. I did that recently and I had to unplug my pc to shut it down. Stupid grin with egg on face. Cheers, Monte

Lol no, that one doesn't work to well. You should've been able to unload them without shutting down though.

Nancy, I'm crazy enough to have three browsers running; I switch from one to
another by holding down the Alt-Key, then pressing the Tab-Key until I find the one I want to switch to. I release both keys and I can have fun all day playing with the browser I'm taunting. I trust the foregoing is helpful; that's assuming I came close to answering your question. Otherwise, I'll ready myself for the sticks!! Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado
