Microsoft defended the browser change but left the door ajar to modifications down the line.įirefox for Windows 10 is actually little different from the stock version, which can run on the new OS as well as on older editions, including Windows 7. "They are unsettling because there are millions of users who love Windows and who are having their choices ignored, and because of the increased complexity put into everyone's way if and when they choose to make a choice different than what Microsoft prefers." "These changes aren't unsettling to us because we're the organization that makes Firefox," Beard wrote. In a letter Beard sent to Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella, Beard blasted the default browser switch on Windows 7 or 8.1 PCs upgraded to Windows 10. Mozilla's CEO, Chris Beard, took exception to the tactic. Most users will simply click "Next" in the Express Setup without diving into the details. During the initial setup, Windows 10's "Express Settings" assigns Edge as the default, even if users had previously specified a rival like Mozilla's Firefox or Google's Chrome. The company recognized that it had to do something on Windows 10 to retain current Firefox users because Microsoft was aggressively promoting its own new browser, dubbed Edge, as the default for the OS.
