Could you explain what the problem is a little more? 
Windows 7 works fine with Firefox set as default.

If I set Firefox as my default browser when i restart Windows 7 all I get is vertical rolling. I have to turn off the computer. I restart in safe mode & reset IE to my default browser and everything is fine. I have tried this a number of times with the exact same result.

Try uninstalling Firefox and trying again. Firefox is not known to cause that problem.

I think the question "What Version of Mozilla Firefox" Should also be asked. As he could be running a beta/alpha version.

Oh, okay. Sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes, uninstall and try downloading the latest non-beta version directly from Mozilla.
