You have a few choices for changing this setting. Installing Google Notifier will change your default mail setting in all browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer), but it does require you to use your device password if you have enrolled in Duo Security. You can manually change the setting in Firefox, or agree to the change when prompted in Chrome, or you can change the setting in Windows 7. Instructions for each option can be found below.
