Setting the default browser in Win10 to Firefox SEEMS to work. Win10's default apps page shows Firefox to be the default browser.

But Firefox it says it's not the default browser, both in Firefox' settings and in an error message on launch. Using Firefox settings just links back to Win10 settings (which still say Firefox is already my default browser. It's a vicious circle.
