How do I change the default browser to open when I chose a web link. I accidentally chose Firefox but sometimes I want to use Google Chrome.

On Android, you can deselect the current default browser, and then Android should present a browser choice the next time you follow a link or use the Google home screen search bar.

To do that, open Settings (the Android Settings app) > Apps > Firefox

Scroll down to the Launch by Default section and tap the Clear Defaults button.

Success?
