My default browser keeps reverting to Internet Explorer. I set Firefox as my browser in the "Set Program Access and Defaults", but no luck. It is frustrating, because I much prefer Firefox.

When I start Firefox, I get the question, "Firefox is not your default browser. Do you want to make Firefox you default browser?" I select "Yes" and it will be my default browser for a while, but within an hour or so, Internet Explorer becomes default.

I followed your instructions to set the default under "Add or Remove Programs" and then "Set Program Access and Defaults" to no avail.bold text

-> Close Internet Explorer

-> go to Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections section -> select Radio Button Option1 "Never Dial a Connection" -> Programs section -> Remove Checkmark from "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the Default Browser" -> click OK

-> Now start Firefox -> go to Tools Menu -> Advanced -> place Checkmark on "Always Check to see if Firefox is the Default Browser on Startup" -> click Check Now -> OK

-> Close Firefox -> Restart Firefox

Check and tell if its working.
