  1. Default browser


    I just loaded Win10 on a new hard drive and then downloaded Firefox. I was asked if this was my default browser and I answered yes,however every time I open it I get the same question about default browser. Can this be turned off or something?

    Thanks

    :)

  2. 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.
