I don’t know how to set it as my default browser to use instead of Safari for emails, etc.

Hi Barbara, Currently, Apple does not allow you to change the default browser on iOS devices.

You can, however, send the link to Firefox.

  1. Tap-and-hold the link, until a list of options pops up.
  2. Tap Share.
  3. Tap Firefox
  4. Choose Open in Firefox.

If you would like to see this change in the future, please leave feedback for Apple on their site: http://www.apple.com/feedback/.
