Did you recently get a Windows Update from Microsoft? Internet Explorer 8? But you mainly use Firefox right?

Well you may notice that IE8 didn’t even ask if it wanted to be the default browser it just assumed that you did, Microsoft sneaky little way of getting in experience users to use IE8, which by the way is a really shitty browser.  How dare Microsoft make their new browser automatic set default browser, that’s just not cool.

I am going to tell you how to get Firefox back to being the default browser.

 

1. Close Internet Explorer if it’s running, then start Firefox.

2. Click Tools, Options, then click the Advanced icon in the Options toolbar.

3. Click the General tab if it’s not already selected, then make sure Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup is enabled.

4. Click Check Now, then confirm that you want to make Firefox your default browser.

5. Click OK and you’re done.

 

Well that should of fixed that problem! I mean IE8 is BETTER than IE7 but its not a supplement for Firefox, am I wrong? Nope. But I really do have to ask, did anyone else encounter Microsoft’s sneaky way of making IE8 the default browser without YOU known it?
