Can 'Edge' be removed from all filetype associations at once?

Firefox Përshtatje

Running Windows 11 on Dell DB16250 Laptop. Using Firefox, updated. I want to use Firefox and eliminate Edge always. Is there a way to remove Edge from being default for ALL file types? --- Some types, like .pdf, I will associate with in that case Adobe Acrobat (of course). Others I may leave with NO association. If I chance on one of those files I'll select then. I do not want Edge to be triggered by ANY file type. --- Can I wipe Edge from all of the type associations Microsoft ties to Edge in some general way? Or must I go through the list and un-Edge them one by one? --- Thank you.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't think Windows 11 provides a simple way to do that. Changing file associations one by one may be the only option... Just in case, the list should be in Windows Settings > Apps > Default apps > Microsoft Edge.

Denys, Thank you. --- I probably should just grind my way through the list, as you say. --- It should not be this way (he grumbled to himself). I led a sheltered life quite happily for twenty past-end-of-support years and the unnecessary rigidity of Win11 still surprises me. I tell myself, "Get over it," but I may spend time working out a config script to choke this. --- File type associations ought to be a user option. Denys, your response helps me understand the problem. Thank you.
