CHANGING YOUR DEFAULT BROWSER

Changing your default internet browser (e.g., from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox), is a two-part process:

• You must first activate the feature in the browser that causes it to check whether it's already your default browser, and if not, ask if you want it to become the default.
  
  
• Once that's done, the next time your preferred browser asks if you want it to become your default browser, you can answer "Yes."

The instructions below explain how to make either Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox your default browser.
