I recently downloaded Mozilla Firefox. I enjoy some of its features but
still want Windows Explorer to be my default. How do I change from Mozilla
to make Explorer the default?

You can change this in the Control Panel > Add and remove Programs >

Hi Ernie,

Set IE as the default Browser:
In IE go to Tools - Internet Options - Programs tab - make sure
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default
browser" is CHECKED.
Press Ok, and when you next run IE, a confirmation
dialog box should appear asking you whether you want it to be the
default browser again. Click Yes.

Set the default browser for your user profile

Windows Explorer should not be your default browser. It should be used for
examining files on your computer, although it can be used as a browser.
To set Internet Explorer to be the default browser go to Tools | Internet
Options | Programs.
