Different Voting Stone Question =)

Post by Athena Tenebris »

When I use the voting stone; the stone opens up Internet Explorer but IE is not my Default Web Browser. Currently Firefox is my default browser. I did have Google Chrome as my default prior to Firefox; and even then the Stone would still open IE.

Anyone have this issue or know how to fix it? I can still vote; so not a bug per say; but an annoyance because I dislike IE and wish I could remove it from my computer all together. =)

Thank you!

"different voting stone question", i like the title :D

Assuming you have windows 10, click the Start key and type "default" and of the choices, select "default app settings". In the window, scroll down until you get to "web browser", click that, and the options will come up.

Just wanted to be clear it was different thing is all hehe =)

I checked the Default App Settings and it showed Firefox as my default. I just reset them all to Microsoft defaults and then back to Firefox again.

Voting Stone still opened up IE.

Not a huge deal; since I can vote from IE; just not my preference of browser =)

Oh and yes Win 10

Thank you for your reply =)

I have the same problem!

Except that something changed recently and I can no longer vote on GTtop100 with IE as when I complete the check and click vote it doesn't register clicking on the vote button, I never get that spinning circle waiting thing.

I have tried a few different things to change the default browser to anything else, but IE still decides to launch. I changed a few registry entries too, as they were still pointing to IE, but it still decides that it wants to use IE.
