My laptop (Acer Aspire 6930) has a hotkey to open the web browser. However, I just got Firefox and I was wondering how I can change the hotkey so that it opens Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.

I already contacted Acer...they told me to phone them (at cost), which I would rather avoid since it's such a trivial matter.
