I set firefox as my default browser. How do I remove firefox as my default browser?

I use both firefox and internet Explorer as my browsers. I clicked the yes button when asked if I want firefox as my default browser. Now i can not undo the setting. I use windows xp.
Help

Easiest way is to open Internet Explorer, go to Internet options -> Programs -> And click the button called something around the lines of: "Use as standard" right at the very top of the window.

Most systems will have an FTP client available that lets you download files without a working browser. Go to a command console and type ftp releases.mozilla.org Enter This should reply with something like<code>Connected to releases.geo.mozilla.com.

How do you remove Firefox from computer, will not delete from "Add/delete hardware"

Have tried to remove firefox from computer. Tried "add/remove harware, programs" from control panel, won't do anything keeps popping back up.

How can I remove Firefox as my default browser?

I do not want Firefox as my default browser at this time. Please advise how I can release Firefox from being my default browser.

So if there is a link in some other application, what do you want to happen when you click it?
The default browser settings are stored in the Windows Registry. In Windows XP there was a handy dialog to change the application responsible for handling URLs, but I haven't found it in Windows 7. If you find directions for editing the settings in Vista or Windows 7, then you could try blanking out the settings for how to handle URLs. It's always a good idea to make a backup before tweaking registry settings manually.

Another possibility is to download the file via ftp.
Open a terminal window and issue the next commands, omit the comments between the parenthesis ().
* Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal
<pre>ftp
open ftp.mozilla.org
username: anonymous
password: anonymous ''(not echoed; so easiest is to paste anonymous in the name and the password)''
cd pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/mac/en-US
ls ''(verify that you are in the correct directory)''
binary
lcd ~ ''(save the file to the home directory)''
get "Firefox 25.0.dmg"
''(verify that you have the "Firefox 25.0.dmg" file in the home directory)''

How can I Remove Firefox Hello in a high-security environment?

Hi,
After a recent Firefox update in a test environment for a high-security environment (I'm not at liberty to disclose the nature of this environment, sorry. Let's just say we have to disable Firefox from contacting Mozilla's servers and further disable Google's "Safe Browsing" due to possibility of inadvertent unauthorized disclosure) We have noticed a feature: "Firefox Hello", this feature causes Firefox to violate strict policy as it transforms it from being classified as strictly a "Web Browser" (which is permitted) to a "Chat Application", all of which are completely banned. Simply disabling Hello is not a sufficient option as Firefox still contains the code to run Hello, which still constitutes it a "Chat Application" as per policy. We have the capability to edit out unauthorized code from open source software internally, but we don't know where to start to remove this code from the Firefox codebase as Hello seems pretty well integrated.
Currently I only have two options, both of which do not please me as for me personally, (I really like Firefox and have fought to include it in any environment I can):
1. Discontinue permanent use of Firefox.
2. Discontinue updating Firefox permanently or until Hello is removed as a non-modular element. This is unacceptable as it'd mean we can't keep it secure, which causes us to fall back to (1).
I would graciously like any third option. Internet Explorer seems to be the only browser that provides sufficient enterprise-level control without extraneous features at the moment with the addition of Hello to Firefox. We have banned Chrome from our environment due to how tightly bound it is with Google's "Cloud" services and hope that Firefox isn't becoming a "Cloud" browser for Mozilla, Sync has already placed Firefox under the microscope as it is.
Thank you.

We have WebRTC traffic blocked (We have a setup that audits SSL traffic before it leaves or enters the network).
Our primary issue with Hello is that policy classifies the actual code used to run it as being very much like an Easter Egg, code that was inserted that goes beyond the spec of being a web browser and thus difficult to audit. It's easy to block services in general, but when an a single unauthorized service becomes a core feature and has code strapped to the browser, that throws up red flags that Mozilla is moving Firefox away from being a organization-managable browser and more toward an exclusively mozilla-managed "Cloud" browser, where there is a possibility that Mozilla will seek more control over user experience that will increase attack surface.
It's reasons like this we decline to install Chrome into our environment, because Google has several services built-in to the core of their browser and do not leverage their extensions capabilities, but rather mandates that these features "must be installed" and that users can only toggle them off.
It's easy to uninstall an extension or to recompile with a flag, but it's hard when a vendor makes decisions for you and tells you "This is good for you, you must embrace it" irrespective of policy of organizations or even individual users wishes.
Thank you all for this information, it will help our future audits and help determine if Firefox is right for our needs.
Unfortunately I can't mark this thread as "Solved" since the root issue is still not solved (Mozilla's development practices making something that should be an extension, a core aspect of the browser), so marking it solved would be a lie. But thank you both nonetheless.

There is a "How to Use OS X" Missing Manual ebook that would answer this but also 100s more so you can use and get more out of using the system.

I have a ransomware virus on chrome browser that blocks use of browser How do I remove this virus. I scan with norton and shows no virus

I have a ransomware virus on chrome browser the blocks use of browser How do I disable virus?

It's likely the "FBI Moneypak browser hijack" which works by hijacking Javascript in the web browser so you can't escapte.
What you do is press command tab to get to the Finder, then from the Apple Menu select > Force Quit on Chrome.
Apple menu > System Preferences > General >
Uncheck “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps“
Apple Menu select > Shutdown, restart and don't start up Chrome.
Use Safari to find out how to disable loading of previous web pages in Chrome ( I don't use it )
Once Chrome loads, then Reset it's caches etc.
If you know the domain name of the malicious site, then feed it here
