How to open particular URL using a particular web browser?

Question

How can we open a particular URL using a web browser. For eg: My default web browser is Mozilla firefox and i want a particular URL to be opened using Internet Explorer using Command prompt. For eg:
"explorer https://www.google.co.in/ " command in CMD will open the link in default web browser (Say here.. it will open in firefox)
Here i want the link to be opened via Internet explorer. (Don't tell me to set Internet Explorer as default web site..)

Can any1 help me on this..??

Answer 1

firefox.exe -new-window

firefox.exe "www.mozilla.org" "www.mozillazine.org"



Change it to internet explorer if you wish to open it in explorer?



OR



You can either use ieTab to have Firefox open that site using the IE render engine, or try this:



1. Create a new shortcut on your desktop, and under "Location" just type "explorer". Go through the rest of the Wizard, until the shortcut is on the desktop

2. Right click on the shortcut and under the "Shortcut" tab, under Target, add the URL you want to open in IE after "explorer.exe", so it'll read:



"%windir%\explorer.exe http://www.metafilter.com"



or whatever site you want.



instead of explore.exe or %windir%\explore.exe you need to navigate to c:\program files\internet explorer and pick iexplore.exe. then put the URL in the shortcut AFTER the close quotation marks for the path to IE. You can do it after you choose iexplore.exe in the "new shortcut" wizard by pasting the URL after the quotes in the "type the location" field.



Hope that helps!



Above info is what I found.

Answer 2

Add this folder to the path "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer", to open Internet Explorer enter this command: "iexplore".



How to change the path:

The command "explorer" actually opens Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer.



Edit:

The complete command would be like this "iexplore https://www.google.co.in/" but you must add the path variable before or it won't work.



Oh and be careful not to delete the other path entries, just add it separated by a semicolon.

Answer 3

i think you should try IE Tab - Firefox Extension



create tabs to be opened in IE just like bookmarks.





its simple!!!
