question everything

I use Firfox browser but when I click on a link in Mac Mail, or other places, Safari opens [View all]

This is annoying since often it opens on a site that recognizes me on Firefox but not on Safar, like DU, for example.

I know that when I first got this new computer - High Sierra - I selected Firefox to be my main browser. How can I keep it while clicking on links?

Thanks
