PCWorks: Saving Firefox as Firefox webpage

Then my real question is how to make Firefox my default
browser without 
re-installing Firefox where I think, if I remember
correctly, one is then 
given a choice?

I know I've seen this answered somewhere before so another
question would 
be: Without bringing it up in a forum such as PCWorks, where
on the internet 
or in "help" would I find this information? The
question seems so elementary 
that I should have the independence to get that information
myself.
