Guest SJB Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Hi, In the Custom section of Setting Program Access & Defaults the radio option button/line to make the existing second browser default, non-default disappeared. So, I cannot make my second browser (Mozilla Firefox) default one, if wanted this way, but I have to go through more steps with the Mozilla's Tools. The Default is IE. 7. How do I regain this option? (The E-mail programs, Media players have those options.) Thanks sjb
Guest Tim Starid Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 RE: Default setting I've been told that was a "by design" change. You'll need to go into Firefox and ask it to detect if it's the default browser.
