I want to have my computer set up with different users having different
default browsers. is this possible? it seems like whenever one user changes
the default browser, it gets changed for all users. This kinda massively
sucks.

Hi Helen,

Sorry, but this is not an option, you can only have one program set as the
default browser for all users. Same goes for the email client, like the
browser, several different clients can be used, but only one can be set as
the system default.

The default browser is a setting that applies to all users. :-(
