Whenever I start Firefox it asks to be the default browser. It is, most programs will open in it. But Firefox still asks?

Whenever I start Firefox it asks to be my default browser. I always check Yes. I also went into my Windows 7 Control Panel and set Firefox as my default browser. But Firefox continues to ask this question everytime I start it. What is happening? Craig

You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.
