[Nord1ing]

Firefox is not listed in any "set by default"menu i n settings app, only IE and Edge re here.

• The button in firefox (set as default) just open the same settings app
  • The solution described on firefox forum (choose edge, after click on set as default in browser) does not work
• firefox reinstallation does not help

• no errors found:

  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    sfc /scannow

  • chkdsk

Are you installing Firefox just for yourself (so it's in your profile's Appdata folder), or for "Everyone" so it installs inside C:\Program Files ?

Try making a new user profile, and see if it lets you change defaults under that.

 

I've seen weird stuff like this happen when user profiles go a little corrupt.
