Links from other apps won't open FF, even though they open Chrome when I set it as default browser
I have no idea what's going on?! It's rather annoying, as I much prefer to stick with FF.
It's been like this for a few days. Anybody ever had this problem? I hope it's an easy fix. Thanks in advance!
Chosen solution
Just wanted to be sure. Experiment # 1: Start Firefox. Then drop the browser under the taskbar. Then try opening a link.
Experiment # 2: Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Then drop the browser under the taskbar. Is the problem still there?

Make sure Firefox is your default;

Thanks, but I already said I did that in the subject :)

Hey, somehow that worked! Or at least what I tried worked: restart in safe mode, then restart as normal.
It worked in safe mode, then for some reason it worked when I restarted with all addons enabled?!
I have no idea what's going on here, but I'm grateful it works again!
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
