Change Default Browser in Eclipse

Question

I'm using Eclipse Luna and I have created an app using the Google App Engine SDK.

When I'm trying to deploy my app to GAE, Sign in to Google Services window open and when I give my Google credentials it show another window with Account Permissions. But I can't click Accept and Cancel buttons in this window, because this window display that page using Internet Explorer embedded window. Due to issues in IE, those buttons are disabled.

So I change my browser from Window => Preferences => General => Web Browser to Firefox. But still Sign in to Google Services window is open in IE embedded window.

How can I change this to open in Firefox embedded window?

Answer 1

I think answer is update your IE7 , 8 to IE9.. it will work fine.

Answer 2

It's not possible to change the embedded browser in Eclipse. There is a very old bug open to add this functionality, but it doesn't look promising. See also this answer.

For now the solution is to to use an external browser, as was suggested above.
