Lots of people use more than one browser (we hope Firefox is your go-to browser!) If you want to set Firefox as the default browser that opens links when you click on them, here’s how.

At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options (Preferences on a Mac.) Select the Advanced panel, click the General tab, and then click the button that says “Make Firefox the default browser.” If you’ve already selected this option (thank you!) it will say Firefox is your default browser.
