After installing Waterfox, the program link(s) to Firefox now take me to Waterfox, so I cannot get to Firefox. This is true for both the link from the Windows Start Menu and for Firefox icon on the task bar. This is the situation when logged on to Windows from my administrator user account. When logged on to a non-administrator account, which is the case at this moment, there does not seem to be any problem. However, I have yet to actually run Waterfox under this account, since I am wary of what might happen.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a 64-bit computer.

Did you allow Waterfox to become the default browser in that user account?

No, I did not allow Waterfox to become the default browser.
