I have followed the steps in how to change to Firefox, but it Windows 10 will not change from Microsoft, and if I try and change anything else, it just changes it back.

Hi everyone, the reason I can use Firefox is that I made it my home page, I wanted to make it default, and using the instructions on Firefox, I clicked on web browser it would not give me any other options. Just tried it again and it seems to have worked. No idea, as I did exactly the same thing several times. Computers???!!! So thanks for all your advice and help. Much appreciated

Hi dtops,

You already seem to be posting from Firefox (32 bit - that is good! ) on Windows 10.
