  2. In the upper right hand corner of your browser you will see a menu icon, click on it.



If using Chrome:

  1. Select Settings from the menu.



  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the settings menu and click "Make Google Chrome the default browser".




If using Firefox:

  1. Select the Options icon from the menu.



  2. Go to the General Tab and check the box under Startup that indicates you want Firefox as your default browser.



  3. Click the "Make Default" button.
