If you do forget to set your default browser at first launch, the experience for switching defaults is now very confusing compared to Windows 10. The default app prompt in Windows 11 that you’ll only see once. It’s incredibly easy to forget to toggle the “always use this app” option, and simply launch the browser you want from this prompt and never see this default choice again when you click web links. Unless you tick “always use this app,” the default will never be changed. It’s the only opportunity to easily switch browsers, though. Like Windows 10, there’s a prompt that appears when you install a new browser and open a web link for the first time. In Windows 11, Microsoft has changed the way you set default apps. While Microsoft is making many positive changes to the Windows 11 UI, the default apps experience is a step back and browser competitors like Mozilla, Opera, and Vivaldi are concerned. Since that hasn't happened on Windows 10 and 11, Firefox relies on other aspects of the Windows environment to give people an experience similar to what Windows provides to Edge when users choose Firefox to be their default browser.Microsoft’s upcoming release of Windows 11 will make it even harder to switch default browsers and ignores browser defaults in new areas of the operating system. "All operating systems should offer official developer support for default status so people can easily set their apps as default. "People should have the ability to simply and easily set defaults, but they don't," said a Mozilla spokesperson to The Verge. You don't have to jump into the Windows 10 Settings app, which is normally the case. The latest version lets you set it as a default directly within the browser. Microsoft's Edge browser can be set as your default with a single click, but no other browsers on Windows 10 have that privilege.įirefox 91 came out on August 10, 2021. Recently, the browser maker figured out a way to bypass Windows 10's anti-hijacking protections, allowing people to set Firefox as their default browser with a single click. Windows 10 allows you to switch your default apps, but that process seemingly isn't quick enough for Mozilla's preferences.
