Please set a default browser to open this link

I uninstalled the hub and reinstalled it, and downloaded the latest long term stable version of Unity

Now every time I try to sign in from Unity Hub 3.5.0 or from Unity 2022.3.3f1, a pop up window appears telling me “Please set a default browser to open this link”. I don’t recall ever having this error before.

Firefox is my default browser. I use Windows 10. I don’t have any other browser on my computer. I don’t see any options anywhere to tell Unity what browser I’m using.

Please help.

Your first problem is using Firefox, it’s crap.

Also, it’s a known issue which is unlikely to ever be officially resolved.

Uninstalling all versions of Unity and the Hub, deleting any temp files anywhere, and then installing the latest Unity Hub again. It did not work. Same error. Please set a default browser to open this link

I installed Chrome browser and made it my default one. When I tried to log in from Unity Hub, it launched Chrome browser to Unity’s website, where I logged in, but that didn’t change anything in the hub. Still not logged in there. So every type I tried again it went to Unity ID and nothing happens! Nothing loads up for me there, just blank. That’s not the entire address of course, I don’t want to include code that someone might be able to use to impersonate me and hack my account or anything. Anyone have any idea what’s going on?

I have the same issue.

I used to hate Chrome browser, but now I love it.

Like I said, it’s a known issue with the Hub, and it’s unlikely to ever be fixed IMO.

How do you access project manager in any projects if you can’t log in?

There’s nothing wrong with using Firefox, you could even use Tor if that’s your default browser of choice… If you are using Win10 type ‘default apps’ on search toolbar or navigate to System>Apps>Default Apps>scroll down till you find Firefox and select it for every type of link extension. I’d guess Windows 10 devices still have Explorer as default even though it’s deprecated so it probably just empty and throws you that exception.

Changing it so it works in a browser doesn’t matter. I reinstalled Windows and everything else, and I don’t get that error anymore. I instead get it to go a website, but then nothing happens.
