I always use Firefox as my default browser. It's impossible to block Edge in Windows 11 Pro.

Hello! I've always used Firefox as my default browser. Now, with Windows 11 Pro, I can't get it to stay as the default. I restart my computer, and Edge reappears. I've tried adjusting registry, gpedit, Taskschd, etc., and Edge remains the default, even for PDFs! Is there any way to change Edge?.. I don't know what else to do to set Firefox and Acrobat PDF as the default. Microsoft is forcing Edge as the default. Thank you!

Since the last update, I am getting pop ups all the time. I have the pop up blocker turned on with some exceptions. I did not make any changes, but the pop ups are constant now.

Since the last update, I am gettin constant pop ups. I have the blocker turned on. I do have some websites exempted, but I did not make any changes. I get the pop ups all the time now. I used to be able to change the pop up settings on the search bar, but I don't see that anymore.

I have been using Firefox for years, but may have to switch back to Safari if this cannont be resolved.

intense dislike of the new right mouse click on link menu in version 150

I have for years hated that the right mouse click on a link had "open link in new tab" at the top of the menu, but accepted it as the item I wanted was only the second one down "open link in new window" and it was easy enough with my aging eyes not to have to read the item and have complete confidence that the second item would be selected and would be the item intended to select.

Now, in version 150 you have introduced another item which interfers with my selection.

I detest, hate, the horror of ""Open in Split View." This should NOT BE FORCED ON ME.

I hope in a future version you will allow complete customization of that menu, so that the available items may be reordered as the user needs, especially so I may have "open link in new window" at the top of the menu

I have set my version back to 149.0.2, disabled automatic dates, and will check to see when you have an improved browser with more complete customization possible for users, even ones you do not know.

If "open in split view" had been put lower in the menu, perhaps I would be pleased to explore its usefulness, but you were impertinent and presumptuous to try to force it on me.

How do I turn off the "split view" option... or move it somewhere else?

I get you are trying to add features... but this is one I dont need or want... and its in the place of a feature I ACTUALLY use "open link in new tab".

Very frustrating to try to open a new link only to loose HALF the screen I am currently using and NO WAY to move said tab off.

Unbelievably weird placement of this "feature".

Hi,

First of all, congrats to everyone for reaching version 150! It's a lovely browser with super nice utilities.

Now the question: i have about 15 tabs open and task manager shows about 80 (?!) processes open for these 15 tabs. I mean, it's a lot.... But the problem is that in Task manager options i ticked "ask me before applying eff.mode". And Firefox overrides that, it seems. Because now, from about 80 processes running, about half have that green leaf icon. And it's horrible to manually set eff. mode off for those 40 tabs. Daily??

What am i missing, is there a solution? Google (even with AI) is useless. Thank you!
