[QUOTE="JimInSD, post: 1606214, member: 313239"] Yes, every time I launch my Parallels Windows 8.1 virtual machine, a popup window displays telling me that Parallels is not my default browser. I have to be careful because it defaults to changing my preferred choice of Firefox on the Mac to itself. I have checked Parallels preferences, Windows preferences and have searched the Internet. I haven't checked the Parallels forum and I will do that next. I get angry when a program and its developers annoy me with unwanted pop ups trying to change my preferences. It is invasive but I suppose is typical of the Windows world. Like I said, it's been over 10 years since I ran Parallels and/or Windows. There has to be a way to stop it though. [/QUOTE]
