Because of other problems I recently wiped my phone clean and am having to start over with settings etc. I want Firefox to be my default browser. I couldn't find the setting so looked here and read the article. The problem is in my Settings menu on my phone there is no "Make Firefox your default browser" option or anything like that. It just isn't there. Neither is there a "More" option. See attached. HELP? Thank you.

Hi Suzanne

I think that I should be able to help with this.

To start with, open the Android Settings app, that typically has a cogwheel icon.

In the search field at the top, search for default.

One of the search results will be default applications, in which you will be able to set the default browser to Firefox for Android.

I hope this helps.
