Accidentally checked use as default browser and want to remove this. Use Safari regularly and now cannot disable default for Firefox.

Thanks.

Did you try to set Safari as the default browser in the Safari preferences?

  • Safari > Preferences > General > Default Web Browser

Make sure to remove the tick here:

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General : System Defaults
