    I've been using Waterfox (a Firefox clone with less issues) for awhile and had it set as default. Recently I have to choose each time I open it and the only choices for a default browser are Edge, Chrome and IE. Is there a way to get it back as default?

    I've tried those. In Default App setting these are my only choices for default browser. Edge, Chromium, Chrome, and IE.

    In Systems, Defaults apps button is missing. I got to it by typing in Default App Settings. But as you can see in the screenshot Waterfox isn't an option. Also the use other program is no longer there either.

    I don't use Win 10 - however, what's your Win10 Build number?

    Finally got it figured out. I wish Windows would learn that if it isn't broken, don't fix it!!!!

    Ultimately - it's on us to choose which operating systems, designed/maintained/ & updated by someone else, that we pay for and use. ;)

    P.S. You're welcome!
