Change the default web browser in Mac OS X

Sarah R. writes in with the following question:
“I downloaded Firefox and accidentally clicked the button for it to be set as my default web browser. Now every time I open a link it goes into Firefox instead of Safari. How do I get back to Safari as my default? Help!”
This isn’t the first time we’ve been asked about changing the default web browser, so here goes the remarkably simple answer.


Changing the default web browser in Mac OS X is very easy, but regardless of what browser you want to use as default, you adjust the setting through Apple’s web browser, Safari. Here’s the steps:

  • Open Safari
  • From the ‘Safari’ menu, open ‘Preferences’ (or just hit command-,)
  • Click the ‘General’ tab
  • Choose the default web browser you would prefer to use
  • Quit Safari, and you’re done.

I downloaded Firefox and I’ve made it my default browser but every time that I restart my mac this setting automatically change to safari.

Same here. Everytime I restart, the setting reverts back to Safari as being default.
