Problem with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox

Asked By Clarence K Dwyer 30 points N/A Posted on - 11/20/2013

Hello,

I am using Windows 7 OS and I was using Internet Explorer as my browser. But IE is not very efficient so I opted for Firefox. I downloaded Firefox 17 and installed it. Problem is I can't make it my default browser. I have tried setting it several times but it doesn't work. Every time I open a link it opens through IE not Firefox. I tried the option to deselect the option from IE that makes it the default but no luck yet. What should I do?

If you continue having the issues with the default browser on your windows 7 computer. You can also use one of the leading browsers in the world and I will assure you that this browser will be your default browser and will be very compatible with your windows 7, it is also compatible with Linux & iMac. It has different language you can select. On this Google Chrome Link you can get the software and enjoy browsing with out any hustle or errors.
