Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I am running today's Ubuntu 11.04 image (used UCK to shrink the .iso to fit onto a CD), and when I opened Firefox 4.0 (rc1), it asked if I wanted Firefox to be my default web browser. I think Firefox should be, by default, the default web browser.

I disagree, until Firefox 4 fully released and is stable I don't think it is wise to put a possibly unstable browser into a release.
