Control Panel - add/remove programs. Choose a default browser, radio buttons show: Use my current web browser - on. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, firefox buttons off. Enable access to this program, all 3 checked. I can turn on the button for firefox, and click OK. I come back to check it, and it is the same as originally..
