Firefox is my default browser. I clicked on a link in my email and it came up on Edge, and asked permission to open in Edge. I thought it was just for that link, but ever since, all my links are opening in Edge. I checked my computer settings and confirmed that Firefox is my default browser, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Thank you for that info. Can you tell me how to access that function? I looked under help, and searched for "change default browser, and all I got was a lot of promotional stuff for Edge.
