5eagle: Is there any possibility that the question 'How do I turn OFF FireFox as Default Browser' could be answered? This thread was archived, without conclusion, it seems cor-el Top 10 Contributor Moderator was/is unwilling/unable to provide a solution/answer [2021 ish]. Like 'Shucks ' I would like to 'Turn OFF FireFox as Default Browser' I did not enable via settings so must have missed the opportunity to deselect when installed. If not possible to turn off please advise and I will uninstall and use another. 05 June 2023.

You can change what is the default web browser on Windows. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-change-your-default-browser-firefox-windows

Yes I know the article is for how to set Firefox as the default web browse on Windows, it does show how to select what you want as the default web browser.
