    Josey, I think the method he used force fed FF as default without modifying other pieces of the pie. I'm wondering if any future MS updates will simply revert it to Edge. I read the blog and it's fix, and I do not know what the guy actually is doing.

    Firefox not showing up in default apps

    It does the same thing as the settings page does but manually with the registry. It's what I attempted to do but there a hash that prevented me to do so (windows revert the app to the default one if the hash is not the correct one). What the coder of the SetDefaultBrowser tool did is reverse engineer how that hash is calculated allowing the registry setting to apply.

    @Josey Wales don't know why you linked that image. This is what I still see btw: https://i.imgur.com/ykU5KLI.png
