I have a question for all you firefox users who have made it your default browser what are the advantages/disadvantages of doing this.I have used Firefox for awhile but never made it my default browser I'm concerned that applications that use IE would possibly not function if I did this.

I have not had a problem, windows update functions fine, .chm (html help files) work fine, help & support works fine, these use IE for some operations and even MS programs like Works 8.0 will launch FF instead of IE when it needs web access. That's not saying that all things will work but with FF as default browser I haven't had any problems in the month it has been installed.
