  1. #Mozilla accuses #Microsoft of sabotaging #Firefox with #Windows and #Copilot tactics
    Mozilla argues design choices in Windows steer users toward Edge even when they explicitly choose another #browser. Parts of Windows still open links in Edge regardless of the #defaultbrowser setting, including results from the taskbar search and links launched from apps like Outlook and Teams. Mozilla says this means Firefox often never even gets the opportunity to handle those links.

  4. #Mozilla really wants you to set #Firefox as default Windows #browser
    BleepingComputer installed Firefox beta, a new setup screen helps you customize your browser right after installing it. It highlights Firefox is backed by a #nonprofit and works to protect your #privacy by stopping companies from secretly tracking you online.
    The screen gives you three options: pinning Firefox to your taskbar, setting it as your #defaultbrowser, and importing data from another browser.
