Windows 10: Stop changing my default browser

Every time I launch Firefox my default browser has been CHANGED to the MS whatever it is.

Stop this.

Is there a simple direct means of doing this.

I have already set firefox as my default browser by the normal method, so please do not state that.

I really don't have time for this kind of nonsense

Default Browser Keeps Changing to Edge

There are three other ways to set your default program. In Default apps, navigate the page to find the following:

• Choose default apps by file type
  
• Choose default apps by protocol
  
• Set defaults by app
  

To manually change your default browser, follow these steps:

• Set your preferred default browser to skip Choose default apps by file type. Click
  Choose default apps by protocol then look for HTTP and HTTPS. Change them to your preferred browser.
  
• After that, click Set defaults by app and wait for the new windows to load. Search your preferred browser and click it. Select
  Set this program as default and press OK.
  
• Close all your browsers and check if it still asks you to set your browser.
