Although you’re always free to use whichever Web Browser you
like, the default browser is launched by Windows when clicking on Links in
email or Office documents. Here’s a quick guide for changing your default web
browser in Windows using the Control Panel or from inside Firefox or Chrome.
Change your Windows Default Browser
from the Control Panel
Click the Start button and Click Control panel
Click on Programs
If you cant see the Programs option, change the view style
of Control Panel. Click on View option in top right corner of control panel and
select Category view.
Now, click on Default Programs.
Click Set Your Default Programs if you want to change
default programs which windows should use to open specific file types.
It will load the list of installed programs. Select the
browser you want to use as your default and Click on Set this Program As
Default.
Click
on Choose Defaults for this Program
It will show you the list of all the supported file types. Select the ones you want to open with the specific browser and click on save button
Set the Default Browser Inside the App
As I mentioned, normally I set the default browser inside
the app. Here’s a few examples of this.
Mozilla Firefox
Go to Options by clicking on Firefox button and go to
options.
Click
on Advanced tab and under System Defaults, click on Check Now button to check
your default browser
If Firefox is not your default browser, it will pop a dialog
box to confirm your choice. Click Yes.
Google Chrome
To make Google Chrome your default browser, click on the
Wrench Menu and go to Settings.
. Under
Default Browser section, you can make Google Chrome your default browser
There you have it folks if you have question or problem,
