Why does Firefox keep getting set to Non-default?
Argg. minor annoyance. Every day, I keep getting a pop-up that Firefox is not currently the default browser. Every Day I set it to be the default. Next day it's back.

My google-fu appears to be insufficient to find the reason why it keeps getting set to other wise. I'm not finding any local messages that say the default changed. I've never installed another browser, but I assume that MS has IE installed somewhere - but it's not on my desktop or start menu.

Firefox version 55.0.3 (64 bit) on Win7.

Anyone have better info?

Anyone have an entertaining theory?

Have you gone to Settings/Apps/Default Apps and confirmed that Firefox is the default browser?
