I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone & wish to make Mozilla Firefox my default browser, rather than the one that come with the phone? Can you help me with this, or is it necessary to go to a Sprint (my carrier) Service Center? Thank you for any telp you can offer. George E Noon

Hi George, the trick is to figure out which browser is your default now, and remove that designation using the Android settings for Apps. It might be Chrome or it might be something Samsung provides.

This article has more information: Make Firefox the default browser on Android.

Does it work?
