Unable to set default browser in Windows 10 - "No installed

Post by Diamanti »

Going into the Windows system settings and setting the default browser from Default Apps results in more or less the same thing - I click on "Choose a default" under the Web browser option and a modal comes up titled "Choose an app". The error message says "There is no installed app for this type of file or protocol" followed by a link to the app store.
Also here.

Close all applications and reboot the computer.
Delete any downloaded or partially downloaded installer files.
Clear the browser cache (of whatever browser you are using to download FF) and the Windows Temp directory.
Shutdown any anti-virus software you are running.
Download a new copy of the full installer from www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all
Delete the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
Run the installer.
Restart the anti-virus program.
