Hi smokestack1,
There are many ways to make Firefox your default browser again.
I am detailing here one of the ways:
1. Open Firefox manually ... one last time ;-) 2. From menu go to Tools > Options 3. On the "Options" menu click on tab named "Advanced" 4. Click on sub-tab "General" 5. Under the "System Defaults" ..click on "Check Now" button. 6. It will open up a pop-up saying ... "Firefox is not currently set as your default browser. Would you like to make it your default browser" 7. Click on "Yes". This makes Firefox your default browser. 8. To ensure that Firefox checks that its your default browser going forward, please checkbox the text "Always check to see...browser on startup"
Please let me know if this helps. Looking forward for your response.
Cheers!
Thank you for your time and information, yes it did work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
