Firefox checks some keys in the Windows Registry to see if it if the default browser. If one of these do not point to Firefox then you get this notification.
You can set these prefs to false do disable this check.
- browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser = false
- browser.defaultbrowser.notificationbar = false
