  1. Assigning default browser


    Need help with assigning default programs. Upgraded to windows 10 Pro 64 bit from Win 7 64 bit. My browser of choice is Firefox. When I open Firefox, I am told it is not my default browser. When I try to set it to be default, Settings opens to allow me to make my choice. The Firefox icon is not present in the choices offered in settings. How do I resolve this?

    :)

  2. How do I stop Windows 10 from automatically opening browser for wifi authentication?

    Bill,

    What I suggest you is to clear out all defaults for it and assign them to your preferred browser.

    To do so, follow these steps:

    Type "Default" to Search box.

    Choose Default option with the checkmark icon.

    Pick your new browser in the list and "set as default".

    Hope this helps.

  3. Unable to set default browser

    • Does this issue happens while you try to set other browser as default too or is it specific to specific browser?

    Any browser.

    Already did the steps you suggested. It's some kind of bug where it's impossible to set a default browser at all.

    I heard elsewhere from one other user
    that it seems to be a problem with upgrading to 10 on the SP3. Sounds very specifc.
