I would like to set Firefox as our default browser and I have read and followed the instructions to do so but while other browsers are listed as possibilities Firefox does not show up on the list. How can I get Firefox on "the list"?  :-)

Yay! That did it! Thank you very, very, very much. Been fighting with this for months. Quote "Windows 10 is a bit of a mess [it's still Windows, after all]" ---- that's for certain! XP had its issues, but wish they had just updated it.
