Hello Joh,

In case the above doesn't solve the problem - would you please take a look at these articles :

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-firefox-default-browser-does-not-work

Scroll down to the section :

"Note: If Firefox is not listed as a program choice, uninstall Firefox from your computer (the uninstaller does not remove any user data such as history or bookmarks) and then reinstall Firefox to see if that registers your Firefox web browser."
