Make Firefox your default browser. Note, the way how to set up a browser as default browser has changed in Windows 10. Setting Firefox as the default browser will be improved with Firefox 40 to be released next week. http://blog.ffextensionguru.com/2015/08/01/firefox-40-and-windows-10-default-browser/
