Installed Firefox on my laptop. Already running on my desktop.

Whenever I try to open a link, I get: Get an app to open this 'microsoft-edge' link

Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store.

Is this Microsofts way of saying "Use Edge?" Can I change settings to make it work?

What kind of links are you trying to open? Do you open them in an external application and have Firefox set as the default browser or are those links on a webpage?

Wish I could tell you exactly what I was trying to open. I think they were Windows links in pages I was reading. Never seen this before. Not a problem on my desktop; just the laptop with new installation. Firefox is set as default browser. If I get more info, I'll let you know.

This is the link I was trying to open:

This usually happens when Windows doesn't recognize the file type or protocol. Try checking if you have the right app installed to open it. If not, searching for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store might help. Also, right-clicking the file and selecting 'Open with' can sometimes let you choose the correct application. What kind of file or link are you trying to open?
