My Firefox browser continually asks to become the default browser even though it already is the default browser. How can I stop it from doing this?

So I unchecked the 'always check if Firefox is the default browser' box and that solved my problem. I'm wondering if the reason I had this problem is because I had 2 versions of Firefox on my computer. A version with the default settings and a version with all my extensions, bookmarks and preferences. Thanks Fred for the solution.
