Synopsis: How can I get multiple browsers on the same computer to use the FaH client software?

---

Details: I have multiple browsers on my Macbook Pro, and the browser that I was using when I initially installed the FaH client (v7.5.1 Mac) works with it. When I quit that browser and relaunch, FaH still works. So far so good.

BUT, I use two other browsers as well. Those browsers will not invoke the FaH client when I point them to Instead, those other browsers time out after 30 seconds and ask me to install the client
Even though the local client was already installed (located in the Mac's Application directory)
So I installed the local client again anyway, but still, none of the other browsers can find the FaH client.

Please tell me what to do, step by step: "Here is step 1, step 2, step 3.... Don't answer with "just do this"

Thank you

Further details:

Browsers are all current as of the time of this post
Firefox Mac v74
Firefox Mac ESR release v68.6.0esr
Safari Version 12.1.2 (12607.3.10)

Computer is running MacOS X 10.12.6

With Safari I find changing the URL to use http instead of https usually works. You may need to refresh a time or two before it connects.

I have never had any problems with Firefox, but I am still on an older ESR for Java compatibility, so have no recent version to test with.

Hi Joe - Yes!!!

Changing the URL from https > http worked for both browsers.

Thank you!
