Whining over microsoft making their browser default like they've done with what.... every single windows release? Makes me want to use Firefox even less. So what, they feel like their browser should be in the default windows install or something? Cry more mozilla...
And what's this about over riding a users browser preference to "make sure this is the default browser"? I've had zero issues making chrome my default browser.
Something has to be default and I sure in the hell don't see Microsoft making it Firefox. Only makes sense for it to be Microsoft's own product. How ridiculous for Mozilla to complain that Microsoft uses their own product on their own product.
I had no issue making chrome my default at all i fired up edge first hand and it popped right up and told me that my norton safe search was not compatible with it, it brought me right to a screen were i could pic what browser i wanted to use, that worked with that extension it was a simple i click and go.
Like in most things, follow the money. There is more advertising money to be made in being the default browser / search engine. Mozilla recently swung a big deal with Yahoo to push its search engine. Follow the money, that's what all the whining is about. With Windows 10, it's a little more difficult to become the default browser than before, so it might lose Mozilla some more dollars, hence the whining.
Edge is tightly coupled with Cortana and so far, there is no way to uncouple it. You can't tell Cortana to use IE 11, Firefox, Chrome, etc.
Hi there
Sour grapes.
It's like Audi complaining about a feature that is in a BMW car or vice versa. If Mozilla doesn't like what Ms is doing - then do something else or make a BETTER browser.
It's called Capitalism (and Invention).
As they say "If you can't take the heat stay out of the Kitchen".

He is just complaining about this now? Through all of the Windows versions since the conception of Firefox, Internet Explorer (and now Edge) has been the default browser and this is the first time I've ever read about the Mozilla CEO doing this.
Does he complain to Google since they put Google Chrome as the default browser on Android? No.
Seems like nothing more than crybaby attitude to me.
