In order to debug I would start simple and try just running this code to see if an AHK script can start Firefox on your system:becritical wrote:Thank you but I am not having any luck! I changed to the full path and also checked the windows registry exists and it's exact and it is FirefoxURL.
I still get the same message. "failed to lunch program...." Action: <http://www.google.com/search.... q=UserChoice"

Unfortunately, I tried your Google, Dictionary and Thesaurus Search scripts and they don't seem to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Also, I was wondering why would it be better to have the searches appear in a dialog box instead of a webpage? If it appears in a webpage, you can click synonyms of the synonyms or the defnition of a word you don't understand within a definition.
Code: Select all

#NoTrayIcon ; Removes this script's AutoHotkey icon in the notification area. It's unnecessary.
#Persistent ; Ensures this script will always be running in the background. Never stops.
#SingleInstance force ; Only one instance of this script will be allowed to run at a time.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
SendMode Input ; Send (aka SendEvent) changed to SendInput which is a faster and more reliable command.
SetBatchLines,-1 ; Run script at maximum speed.

What a fantastic spoonerism!
