    article downloading as Firefox not Microsoft edge


    I am using Windows 10, Microsoft 365 and the Microsoft Edge browserFor a long time I used the Firefox browser. I have since switched to Microsoft edge. When I go to use Microsoft print to PDF for an article from the web, it downloads as a Firefox document. How do I stop that?Lately, things have gotten worse. Now instead of downloading the article the system gives me this error message: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred see the browser console for more information.

    :)

  2. Microsoft Edge blocking Firefox

    You don't really need to 'nuke' edge to install firefox.

    You can get it installed and made default in 3 easy steps

    1. Download the latest firefox here
    2. Start firefox - it should prompt you to set it as default - Follow what happens, and pick firefox as your default
    3. Else, Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs (use win r or paste that into explorer. Find firefox, and select "set as default"

    That should make firefox your default and not fire up edge automatically.

    Importing firefox data in to microsoft edge

    Hello,

    I hope I can help you today

    Import from a browser

    To import favorites from Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox into Microsoft Edge, follow these steps.

    In Microsoft Edge, select Settings and more> Settings> Import from another browser.

    Choose the browser from which you want to import (only the browsers installed on this computer will be shown in the list) and then select Import.

    Recommendation: To show favorites in the bookmarks bar, select Settings and more> Settings and activate show favorites bar. Then select Hub> Favorites and drag the ones you want into the Favorites Bar folder.

    I hope this can help

    regards
