At some point my downloads were hijacked from Firefox to Edge. I hate Edge, how do I fix this?

Hi, make sure that Firefox is set as your default browser: Make Firefox your default browser.


Incidentally, you have more than one version of Shockwave Flash which can cause problems - the oldest should be removed.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Tried all that, still no luck. Do you think I need to uninstall edge? I sometimes need an additional browser for some online work I do.
