I purchased a new PC, using Windows 10 Operating system. I am unable to get default browser to change to Mozilla Firefox when using Microsoft Outlook.  I have gone into Mozilla Firefox’s settings and checked the box to make it my default browser. Actually, the issue is that my links opening in internet explorer instead of Firefox.

Can anyone help!

 

Thanks & Regards
