I just installed 3.05 for Windows and after the install was finished a web browser Window opened up to think me for installing the latest version. However the browser that opened up was not my default browser. I have Firefox as my default browser and Microsoft Edge opened up. I hate any browser that isn't Firefox. I have been using Firefox since was Netscape. I wish I could uninstall MS Edge as I consider it bloatware. If I wanted to use Chrome I would install the real thing not some clone with unwanted and unneeded features, Sorry for the rant. Rev George ---

MP3tag can only be as good as your system setup. So, apparently, you have not associated Firefox as default program with html files. ---

There are a few stand-alone programs, that if you invoke a browser, will open the browser of their choice, not yours. It's rare, but I've had it happen. Quicken did this for a while. It's a stand-alone program, and normally you never see a browser in Quicken. But I did something that opened a browser window, and it was Edge. Not sure if it still does this, as it's rare for Quicken to open a browser window, and I haven't had it happen lately. Having said all this, I have no idea if Florian would do this. Seems unlikely. ---

PS: I just checked, and Mp3tag definitely opened my default browser when I clicked on "Go to Web Site". That's not to say a programmer couldn't make an install program use a specific browser. Again, seems unlikely here. ---
