Do you get an error message from Windows?

Sometimes the Firefox installer messes up the registry settings for how to handle URLs in other programs. One common way to solve the problem is:

(1) Start up IE and have IE make itself the default browser

(2) Go back to Firefox and have Firefox make itself the default browser
