When I click on links within BOINC Manager, I can't seem to open them in anything besides Safari, with my default browser set to OmniWeb. Anyone have a solution, please?

My default browser is Safari, so I won’t be much help—but a couple of questions come to mind: Do Web links from other apps, Mail for example, open in OmniWeb? Do the BOINC Manager buttons launch Safari even if OmniWeb is already open?

Yeah, BOINC is the only one that launches Safari, unfortunately. Thanks for your help. :-)

You might want to post about the problem on the BOINC Manager forum: there have been reports of similar issues on other OSs, but I haven’t noticed any other Mac users mentioning them.
