Windows 10: Firefox not available in Default web browser list

Settings - Default Apps - Web Browser

Only Chrome IE and Edge are available

:)

 

How do I make Firefox my default browser on a Windows 10 laptop

Step 5 is incorrect; when I go to choose an app, the only choices are Edge, IE, or Chrome; Firefox is not listed.

Hi Soniapayne,

You may try these.

Follow the steps below:

For Windows 10:

• 
  Select the start button, and then type
  Default app settings
  
• 
  In the search results, select default app settings
  
• 
  Under web browser, select the browser currently listed and then select Mozilla fire fox or another browser
  

For Windows 7, 8.1:

• 
  Go to control panel
  
• 
  In the search box, located on the upper right corner
  type Default programs
  
• 
  Click on Default programs
  
• 
  Click on Set your default program
  
• 
  Click on Mozilla Firefox
  
• 
  Click on Set this program as default
  
• 
  Click Ok
  

Hope this helps.

 

win10 1709 default apps: browser list not updated (no firefox, uninstalled browsers still there)

win10 enterprise 1709 16299.125

in "default apps", the web browser lists isn't updated with installed browsers anymore

• "vivaldi" is still listed even though it isn't installed (selecting it causes an error each time an URL is invoked, as vivaldi isnt' there anymore)
• "firefoxc" isn't listed and can't be selected as default browser even if it's installed
• the list regularly shows "chrome", "ie" and "edge"

I can only select Firefox as default browser choosing defaults by protocol http/https

obviously something got corrupted and the list got out of sync

any idea where in the registry or elsewhere that list is stored, so that I can manually fix it?

I managed to manually remove "vivaldi" by deleting all registry keys referring to vivaldi, but I couldn't restore firefox even manually adding the "firefoxHTML" values next to the "chromeHTML" values

I'm looking for a solution to manually restore the correct installed browser list, regardless of the default browser
