  1. In Firefox: Go to Tools > Options > Advanced
  2. Under the General tab, uncheck "always check to see if firefox is the default browser on startup"
  3. Start your Internet Explorer. Go to Tools > Internet Options
  4. Under the Programs tab, check the box "Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default browser.
  5. Restart Internet explorer and it will pop up a message asking if you want to make IE your default browser. Click yes.


Hope that helped!
