(Resolved) Firefox is not your default browser?

Post by Dioxazine »

In Settings it says Firefox is not your default browser. It's the only browser on my computer. So why does it say that? Then the button to the right that says Make Default when you click on it you get a box that says Set Program Associations.

How do you get it to say Firefox is your default browser?

That's less a Firefox issue than it is a Windows issue. For a long time, Windows has been very stubborn about accepting any browser except IE or Edge as the default. See this article for instructions on directing Windows to set a default browser https://www.utilizewindows.com/setting- ... ndows-8-1/
