Downloaded Firefox in Windows 10. It is listed as my default browser, however the app on startup page is Firefox installer exe. and is essentially requiring me to setup the app every time I attempt to initiate the browser. What do I need to do to be able to simply click a Firefox shortcut (like the installed Microsoft Edge)? Thanks.

You can check that those pages aren't set as multiple homepages.

You can check the homepage setting.

Firefox supports multiple homepages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
