I'm having a lot of trouble with this...
Google got me a script that almost works, but I think there are more
registry keys to make Firefox the default browser. When you run Firefox
it still thinks it's not the default browser, non-admin level users
can't set it as default, and there a few html files that still want to
open in Notepad when double clicked.
Anyone want to help with this?
script is attached

This is for when you want to run Firefox, not install it...
Creating a shortcut that runs that command won't work either. The users
are running as user, not as administrator, and can't change the default
browser.
I think I'm going to have to go through the registry. I'll have a peak
at the file you posted. I'll post whatever I figure out to the wiki and
list.

Force Firefox to make itself the default
If Firefox already thinks that it is default, exit Firefox completely,
go to "Start Menu -> Run" and enter this into the text box:
firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser

We've been using WPKG for a few months now. It's awesome.
One problem, we don't know how to make Firefox the default browser
with WPKG. I've pretty much determined that I'd have to change
several registry keys, which can be done, but will take a lot of
smashing the keybo-- err troubleshooting.
Anyone know how do set Firefox as the default browser easily with WPKG?
