Windows 10: Nags to switch to Edge [from Firefox]

Whenever I access [at least some] Microsoft sites, I must deal with pop-ups asking if I want to switch to Edge [from Firefox]. How can I stop these?

'Try Microsoft Edge' nag when logging in

Hi,

I've just recently upgraded my PC to Windows 10 from Win7 after months of putting it off. Surprisingly it all went smoothly. I even found I was already activated and was not expecting that. However there is 1 niggle.

I use Firefox as my default browser which continues to work fine. But each time I boot up and reach login, I am greeted with a 'nag' suggesting I switch to MS Edge, which I don't wish to do. This isn't a pop-up, just a reminder displayed across the login background photo as per this link. It's easy to remove - just click on the login page - but I'd prefer it didn't appear in the first place. I've tried unchecking the box 'Get tips,tricks and suggestions as you use Windows' under System, which seems to be the recommendation for blocking this nag, but it makes no difference. I've also turned off MS Edge under Background Apps.

Any suggestions that actually work in preventing this nag would be welcomed.

Two suggestions:
1. Use your own Picture; turn off Windows Spotlight,
2. Turn Off 'Get fun facts...'

 

Microsoft Edge blocking Firefox

You don't really need to 'nuke' edge to install firefox.

You can get it installed and made default in 3 easy steps

1. Download the latest firefox here
   
2. Start firefox - it should prompt you to set it as default - Follow what happens, and pick firefox as your default
   
3. Else, Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs (use win r or paste that into explorer. Find firefox, and select "set as default"
   

That should make firefox your default and not fire up edge automatically.
