Go to Internet Options (for example from the Tools menu witting an IE window or by using the Control Panel) and, in the Programs tab, uncheck the option to check if Internet Explorer is the default browser. Then set Firefox as the default browser and you should have no more issues with this, unless you're not logged in as an administrator when trying to set Firefox as the default browser. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of ratshtron Sent: Wednesday, August 2, 2017 8:49 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] how to stop ie8 from being the default browser? for some reason i cannot seem to make firefox to be my default browser. it will change for a few minutes but ie8 seems to revert as the default browser. where do i need to go in ie8 to stop this from happening? thanks. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ --- El software de antivirus Avast ha analizado este correo electrónico en busca de virus. https://www.avast.com/antivirus For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
