    What a stupid try to make it sound interesting. “There’s a catch”… No, there is no catch. You have a choice when installing to make your browser the default browser - just like any other browser asks you. sigh You get so tired of people writing like this…

    But good for Firefox… It deserves more visibility.

      Windows be like: “We saved you from setting Edge as your default browser bro.” after an update. It’s not a catch apparently.

      What they’re describing sounds different - not sure if it’s just a misunderstanding or something?

      However, the site preselects the “Set Firefox as default browser” option during download. This means you might see prompts to make Firefox your default browser upon installation. To avoid this, simply uncheck the option on Firefox.com before downloading.

      I can’t replicate being given the choice on the site itself when downloading
