Before yesterday, Internet Explorer was my primary browser, and Firefox was secondary. Each time I opened Firefox, I was greeted with a question for Firefox asking me if I wanted Firefox as my primary browser. I always answered "no" until I mistakenly pressed the "yes" box, and now I have Firefox as primary (which I do NOT want). How do I restore IE and have Firefox as secondary again?

Follow these steps:

  1. In Firefox, go to Options > Advanced. In the last section on that display, "System Defaults", un-check "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup".
    • You will no longer get the question about making Firefox the default browser when you start Firefox.
  2. Close Firefox (Firefox button > Exit OR File > Exit).
  3. Open Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab; under "Default web browser" section, click "Make default" and check the box "Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default web browser".
    • You will get a question about making IE the default when you start IE, if the default has been changed.
