I accidentally made Firefox my default browser thinking that you could change it back to not default. Is there a way to make a browser other than Firefox default when Firefox is currently default? (i.e. i want to know how to un-default Firefox.)

I found an answer to this question at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/761175.

Don't mess with the registry keys, this part worked for me: Check the default settings in: Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left) Open: Custom (click arrow on the right) Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser" Click OK
