I'm trying to set up Firefox as one of me browsers. It supports certain applications that are not available on my default browser Internet Explorer. But when I try to download Firefox it keeps asking if I want it as my default browser. No I do not, because my provider Cox has set up Internet Explorer as my default browser. And I want to keep things simple. I just want to click on the Firefox icon when I need Firefox for certain tasks.
