Whenever I click on a link that has been emailed to me it opens in Microsoft Edge.

I want it to open in Firefox. I have Firefox as my default browser.

Microsoft Edge | Other | Windows 10

    Hi DTrotter07, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

    Are you using Outlook as your email provider? If so, there is an option for link handling, and you should be able to set it to your default browser.

    Go to File > Options > Advanced > In File and Browser Preferences section, click the drop-down menu and select default browser instead of Microsoft Edge.
