    It depends upon the confuration you are using. In *nix everyting is controlled by plain text files. system level settings are specified in /etc/profile. User profile will be in /home/username and specific shell assigned to the user. You chan change the path to ff in /etc/profile so that it point to the correct version which will be in /usr/bin (link to actual folder/file)

    You can go through :
    IE-Tools-Internet Options-Programs.
    Check the box "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the
    default browser"
    Close IE and reopen it.
