The default setting for Firefox browser
I have now been prompted 10 times today to make firefox by default browser - it has been my default browser for years. Each time I go to windows settings to check - it does not show me that firefox is the default. I select default for firefox but still is doesn't follow the command. I did manage to get it to accept the default command ONCE today but when I rebooted the laptop it went back to prompting me to make it the default all over again - must be 10 times now. This is infuriating. Could this issue be due to a VPN I have (NORD)? Having said that, I have tried 8 times to set the default while NOT connected to the VPN. What can I do?

Hi Manducci1, Your problem could be related to the version of Windows you’re running.
Recently, Microsoft has released a Windows 11 update that contains a special item that -amongst other things- reinstalls Edge as the default driver. This feature is called User Choice Protection Driver, or UCPD.sys.
More on what this driver does, and how it re-activates itself (and how to stop that) is explained in this youtube video: https://youtu.be/xQUYh4iKsB0?is=Rlu_9WdEVtwPgA9H
I hope this helps you in finding a solution to your problem. If so, please let us know.
Kind regards, Dick
