Every time i start firefox i get that message I do not want firefox to be my default browser I choose exactly which browser i want as my default if i cannot stop this i will have to uninstall firefox altogether as I will never ever change my mind no matter how many times this box pops up I have unchecked the box but still it pops up every time no web browser will ever control me! I control myself in every way shape or form

You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename/remove the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in current Firefox releases.
