Sheldon,

 

The /usr/bin/firefox %URL% is the placeholder text that is used as an example for the browser command. I have tried with Chrome as my default browser and this works fine but I want to keep Safari as the default browser but use Chrome only for pgAdmin. 

 

Following the reply I got from Richard Coleman and after a bit of Googling for the correct command I have found the syntax to be:

 

open -a “Google Chrome” %URL%

 

Hope this helps someone else as well.

 

Thanks

Steve

Interestingly enough, I use Chrome exclusively and my Browser Command is configured to: /usr/bin/firefox %URL%

When selecting New pgAdmin 4 Window... the new window opens in Chrome. Seeing as firefox is not even installed, I believe in the absence of a working command pgAdmin 4 reverts to OSX's default browser, which I do have configured to be chrome.

 

HTH!

Steve,  

 

Well I have mine set to launch chromium with this command:

chromium-browser %URL%

 

So I would imagine substituting the command to start chrome from the command line would suffice.

 

Just a thought,

Hi,

 

Can anyone help me with changing the browser used by pgAdmin in MacOS Mojave.

 

I have Google Chrome installed and can see that there is a box for entering the Browser Command in the pgAdmin configuration but I cannot work out the syntax for getting Chrome to launch instead of Safari. Any help appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Steve
