Windows 10: Firefox

Like many i use Firefox, i did the insiders up date to 14342 now on a regular basis i am asked do i want to use firefox as my browser yes i do many many time then i am sent to the settings page I pick firefox then it does it again. I have unchecked the box ask every time, is it a ploy by MS hopping we will stop using non MS browsers ?

Firefox replaced by Firefox Quantum

The other day, I turned on my computer, and Firefox was changed and so was the icon. This is a virus, called 'Quantum'.

My computer is messed up. I can't seem to uninstall this 'Quantum' Firefox, and when I try to install the real Firefox, my computer doesn't seem to recognise the exe file extensions. Also, if I connect anything to my computer to backup my data, it locks my
file to read only on whatever device I connect. It had a padlock icon next to it.

This should fix the problem:
Win+X->Control Panel->Default Programs then click on "Set your default Programs", click on Firefox then "Set this program as default"

 

Thank you, tried the win x but no control panel but i found it and followed you helpful diagram.so far ok Thanks again

 

hold down Win key then press X.It should give you this :



However, you found it then it should be OK. Glad you got it sorted.

 

Thanks

I'm not sure if I did that or not.

Can't believe if the first computer was so easy why this is happening?

I'll be back.

 

Thanks all for your contributions.;*Smile
