The fact it doesn't let change the default is bug 250960.

However, currently I have second connection set as default and firefox uses
that. Please re-test.

Windows xp, v5.1 Home.
Updated to latest version of FireFox and it will not connect to the network.  It
worked fine before.  I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no difference.

Windows is up to date on all service pacs, fixes etc.

From Bernard.Sheppee 
 
I have a similar problem, OS Windross 98 (not SE), S/W Firefox,Thunderbird. 
When S/W called starts up but does not request connection S/W, eventually says home page not available. 
 
FF and TB work fine if inet conecction already made. 
 
Not certain if FF/TB problem or Win98 problem. 
 
Best regards. 
 
Bernard.
