Every link in a toot will open edge, but the standard browser is set to Firefox.
Environment: Windows 11.

Hi, I'm not a Windows user so I cannot replicate the issue, but as far as I know, Elk cannot select which browser should be used to open a link. It is probably controlled by an operating system (Windows 11 itself).

I previously heard that Windows aggressively overrides the default browser setting to force users to use their own Microsoft Edge so it's possible that Windows overrode Firefox's default setting at some point.
