    Maybe I'm missing something, but why is Mozilla so upset over this? It takes, like, two more mouse clicks and five seconds. This isn't some scheme by Microsoft to force you to use Edge... When you're setting up Win 10 you can choose your default apps, and it's pretty easy to change them whenever you want to. It looks to me like a security thing, so apps can't force new permissions on a user. I think it's a pretty good change, and does not somehow infringe on "people’s right to choice and control of their online experience."

      Exactly my reaction. I do not get Mozilla's reaction at all, it's actually a really good change, unless the dialog option is nested so deep in their control panel it's basically hidden.

        The option at set-up time to avoid setting Edge as the default browser is a tiny bit of hard-to-spot (blue text on a slightly different blue background) hypertext on the left side of the screen, while the only large buttons shown are "Back" and "Use Express Settings." The latter sets Edge as the default.

          Ha! Well that certainly is useful :/
