  1. This is an already answered question on this site
    By the user: Sonal

    and also here
    By the user: Buru

    I thought it would not work because those answers are from 10 and 5 years ago, but it does.

    Just in case, I will use that answer adding some details:

    • Open C:wamp or C:wamp64 in Windows Explorer (or wherever you
      installed wampserver)

    • Open wampmanager.conf file in a text editor

    • Find the section [main]

    • Find the following line:

       navigator = "C:Program FilesInternet ExplorerIEXPLORE.EXE"
      
    • Replace it with the location of the desired browser (firefox in this case):

       navigator = “C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe”
      
    • Save the the file

    • Restart WAMP with right click on the tray icon and selecting
      ‘Refresh’. Then your default browser should be changed.

  2. From wampserver 3.3.0, to set default browser ,you can use wamp setting of GUI like below. Finding the wamp server icon on the right bottom of the screen, and right click it, It will show wamp setting.
