Without any input from me, links in emails and websites started opening in the Private Browser on my Android. How do I change back to default to regular browser?

Hi

if you open the Android Settings app and search for Default apps, what is set as the default Browser app?

Hi, Seburo,

Thanks for your response. Firefox is set as the default browser. Any other suggestions?

When you mean "private browser", do you mean a private browsing tab in Firefox for Android, or are they opening in Firefox Focus for Android?

The dark Private Browsing tab in Firefox.

BTW, I DON'T have this issue on my PC.

Thanks, Seburo. I guess I had clicked to open links in a private tab. I have unclicked it, and that has done the trick. Thanks again.
