<!--Best case scenario for fx41: L10N - you may localize this, but it hasn't been checked on the real version of WIndows 10 yet, so there might be changes. If all goes according to plan, this button will set the default to Firefox without any additional work from the user

[[Replace this with button]] 

{note}You can also set your default browser manually by following the instructions in [[Make Firefox your default browser]].{/note}

#;[[Replace this with button]]
