When I first opened Firefox after installing, I configured all the settings for myself. And I unchecked >Always check if Firefox is your default browser. It checked it back on by itself and now I can't uncheck it! It's grayed out.

I want firefox to be my default browser, but I want it to stop checking if it is as I won’t install any other browsers on my system. I don’t understand why would firefox give an option to disable checking if I can’t choose. Annoying.

The check doesn't cost you anything, why do you care? Do you think edge isn't checking every time you start up the system or windows calls it for some reason?

They most likely do, but if there is an option to disable it, then I want to be able to disable it, even if it doesn’t matter.
