Sooner or later, Microsoft will learn of Mozilla’s efforts, and you can expect an update to break that process. Basically, Mozilla is tricking Windows into thinking a human made choices.īut don’t expect this to last. It looks like Mozilla is doing a bit of reverse engineering to guess the correct parameters it needs to input, and to stop Defender from throwing a fit, Mozilla moved the process to an outside operation. Since Firefox is open-source, you can dig into how Mozilla managed it, and the code is wonderfully commented. Windows 10 and 11 forbids programs from setting themselves as a default, yet Mozilla managed to do that. Which is, frankly, surprising because it’s not supposed to work. We tested it in the latest release, and it worked. No settings panel, no extensions Firefox is now your default browser. When you launch Firefox, it will ask if you want it to be the default browser and if you agree, it will just work.
Starting today, you’ll actually see behavior that resembles Windows 8 and earlier. And browser companies aren’t happy about it.įirefox seems to be taking matters into its own hands with a new update. Now, if you want to set a new default browser, you need to go to the default app page, and one by one, set a new browser for the HTM, HTML, PDF, SHTML, SVG, WEBP, SHT, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS extensions.
Windows 11 killed the quick default app page.
