force certain url(s) to open with safari

I use firefox for my browsing, but I have so many blockers and security extensions in place that a few sites won't function in FF. so I just open those few sites with safari, and all is well. but I would like to force my these sites to open in safari, and all others open with ff. for example: when I drag a shortcut to my desktop from one of these sites, and force it to open with safari, it works that one time. but when I double-click on it again, it opens in ff (since ff is set globally as my default browser). help!

Hi

If you mean you want those specific shortcuts on your desktop to open with Firefox; then yes you can.

Ctrl-click a shortcut ( or select more than one & ctrl-click) ,choose 'get info'

in the 'open with:' section, change it to Safari.

don't click the 'change all' button - just close the info window(s).


That should force just those particular shortcuts to use Safari.
