Launching Edge from Excel link when Firefox is default

[ge8marble]

Some web sites do not work properly with Mozilla Firefox and require MS Edge. I have a spreadsheet with numerous web sites saved in links that launch my default browser (Firefox). But for those few that require Edge, I'd like the link to launch Edge, instead. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

This is the work of "CA Engineer" on StackOverflow.

This works. Just tested.

Seems like this will:
Check comment box.
If comment box has URL beginning with http, it will open in the selected browser.
If comment box is blank or does not start with http, then it will open with the default browser.

You will have to add a comment to every link on the sheet or you'll get error 91. It will still work, but the error is annoying. The links you want to use the default browser, just click insert comment.

For links you want to open with Firefox:
Edit Hyperlink > Place in This Document > Text to display: (What you want displayed) > Type the cell reference: The cell you have the hyperlink in.
Edit Comment: (Clear the default starting name, then paste the url beginning with "http".

For links to open with default:

Place on sheet object.

Private Sub Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink)

    If Left(Target.Range.Comment.Text, 4) = "http" Then
        Call Shell("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" & Target.Range.Comment.Text)
    End If

End Sub

You could also always just change default opening app to edge for all links.
