Hi Mike,
Yes there is :Start Menu > Default Programs
Set Firefox as default.
I would advise to give access to IE as well.
M$ sites are not happy with Firefox or vice versa :-)

I saw this on CNET  - Have not tried it - I'm running XP
Go to Start => Run and then Type
firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
Now every link will open only in Firefox.

Actually,Firefox will ask you if you want it to be your default browser.
