I have tried that several times now and have even rebooted my
system between tries and it still doesn't stick. I really do
not understand what is happening here.
When I just tried it again when I click on the browser button
it showed Firefox as being the default browser. I clicked on it
and then clicked on Firefox to make sure it was set and still it
doesn't stick.
Maybe there is something wrong with Win 10 on my system and
it isn't saving the settings in the place that Firefox is
expecting it. Not sure what is going on.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

The "in program" dialogs are an anachronism that "don't stick"
under Windows 10. Those programmers who wanted to make their "in
program" dialogs Windows Version agnostic query whether they're
running under Windows 10 or not, then if they are actually trigger
that Windows 10 Settings dialog to open to the correct pane and
item to allow you to switch it.
I don't even bother "in program" anymore but just go to the Apps,
Default Apps and handle it there.
