I've noticed a screen display change regarding a lighter text that is appears on every website page and application such as MS Word. So I downloaded the new Firefox update 3.10 and ever since then the default settings have changed on my computer and I cannot change them back.

I try to set to custom settings to disable internet explorer but it starts a percentage loading bar graph then suddenly disappears and internet explorer is NOT disabled. I try to set non-Microsoft settings on my computer but the same thing occurs: a split-second bar graph that appears like it will load starts then disappears and internet explorer is not disabled. I have XP that I need to keep for Generic CADD and Norton Internet Security through Comcast. My last completed update was a Firefox 3.6 and a Flash update that Firefox suggested.

Did you check the Compatibility tab in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click context menu: Properties) ?

Make sure that no boxes are check-marked.

No boxes are checked.

Last week, I did have to use internet explorer to take an online test for a college math class. Would explore have reset my settings?

I keep getting an error message that disappears immediately. It reads that Firefox is not my default browser. However, the active bar reads: Mozilla Firefox.

When I attempt to change my Set Program Access and Defaults to something other than Internet Explorer it attempts the bar graph; but it won't complete the bar graph and progress. Instead, it disappears and when I reopen Set Program Access and Defaults it shows Internet Explorer is still my default.

And again the active bar reveals that I am supposedly connected to the internet via Firefox. If I check Tools>Options>Advanced>Check to see if Firefox is your default browser then I am shown a message that YES, Firefox is already my default browser. But intermittently, that error returns and alerts me that it is not.

Thanks for your suggestion.
