We'll try opening Settings if there was an error or if there's a 2 second timeout. I'd suggest something like:

Both articles have been updated recently, with Windows 11 information added.  The first article was also renamed https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-change-your-default-browser-windows ("Windows 10" was removed from the title) since it also applies to Windows 11.  

I'm just not sure if the Windows "Settings" dialog will also open up in Windows 11 if the [Make Default] button in Firefox about:preferences doesn't work.  Can someone confirm what happens on Windows 11?
