Firefox browser can't be set as default??
Hi, It appears as though Microsoft have made it mandatory to use Bing as my search engine overriding my Firefox browser. I have tried all the recommended fixes with no success. Can anybody help with this problem? Thank you, Clyde

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions.
Remove “ Bing “ Anything.
Also remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine, securedsearch
Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.
