I am unable to set waterfox as my default browser

My operating system is Windows 8. I have tried all that was recommended here and nothing works. When I try to set waterfox as my default browser, nothing happens. Every time I go online it tells me waterfox is not my default browser. This has only been in the last couple of weeks, so I am guessing it has something to do with the last update, but not sure. Either way, before the update it was fine, after the update it was not.

Waterfox is based on Firefox code, but there are differences. You might try their support site here: https://www.reddit.com/r/waterfox
