Cortana no longer uses Firefox when searching the web from Windows 10 start menu
Around April, Microsoft patched Cortana to no longer direct websearches to third party browsers. Now instead it directs to Edge and exclusively Bing.
I was wondering if there is a plan for a workaround for this search feature to be reenabled for Firefox or if all hope is lost.

Welp, there goes another Windows 10 feature that I can no longer use. What a wonderful operating system!
Thank you for the quick reply!
