Windows 10 Home 21H1 (in Korean Environment) Firefox Developer Edition 92.0b5 (64-bit), installed in "D:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition", linked directory "C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition" to installed path

1. When I choose the default browser app in Windows settings, It displays Firefox twice. https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2021-08-19-19-10-04-f5ef95.png

2. I selected either of them as default browser, but Firefox settings displays that it's not selected as default browser. And also "set as default browser" button does not work

How can i solve this problem?

It's possible you have two versions of the program.

Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files . C:\Program Files (x86) Note: Check Both Folders

I did NOT install 2 versions, I installed at D: drive, and created directory shortcut using "mklink" command in cmd.exe at "C:\Program Files"
