I am trying to make Firefox my default browser but when I go to settings to change it from Google to Firefox, Firefox does not show up in the list of available browsers to make the default. Wondering why it is not there as the app is installed from Playstore. Google, Yahoo, bing, duckduckgo and ecosia are listed but firefox is not. Tried holding down on browser window to get the browser add symbol to show as one fix suggested but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

Hi Andy

Thank you for your question.

So that I can look into this and hopefully find a solution for you, what is the make and model of your device and what version of Android is installed on it?

Okay, thank you. Are you using the Beta version of Firefox for Android available from the Google Play store?
