How I did it: Read through the resources I have provided below to find various links to help you get started and finished installing Firefox in no time. :)

Once you've installed the browser:

1. there will be one more step left to do and that's to make it your default browser. Open up Firefox and go to the top of the screen and click on the menu called Tools, then click on Options > Advanced > General.
2. And go right down to the bottom to find under System Defaults, the following: "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup". 
3. On one side there will be a little box you can tick if you wish to perform this check every time. And on the other side will be a button called Check Now. Click it.

A little window will pop up offering to make Firefox your default browser.
And that's it! :)

Lessons & tips: Do yourself and your computer a favour:
use Firefox and leave Internet Explorer to collect dust. :)
