Firefox is set to be my default browser in Settings but when I clicked on a link in an email, Edge opened. Why is this?

What email client are you using (or are you opening email from Firefox directly)?

I know Outlook has a separate setting that needs to be changed to open links in your browser of choice. You can find instructions here.
