When I change it from Safari to Firefox, next boot up it becomes Safari again? Any fixes? Thanks.

I assume you're doing it in Safari's Preferences - General tab, top item?

If you are in Safari preferences, at the top it should says "General", "Appearance", "Bookmarks"...

Under the "General" tab, there is a drop down box for default browser.

This is exactly what he means. Only thing he did not say was Safari Preferences.

Changing it there works here every time and it keeps the setting.
