I currently have Firefox set to be my default browser. I would like to change it to Cruz because if Firefox isn't currently open it takes almost a minute to load. Plus it's rather sluggish at times.

How do I change the default browser?

Easiest way is to use Safari's preferences, this will let you change it to any browser on the system (not just Safari)

The most annoying preference location on OS X. – Benjamin Dobson Feb 23 '10 at 22:33

This isn't technically a Safari preference, Safari just allows you to change it (stored in com.apple.LaunchServices.plist). So there is sane design underneath, just not in the UI – cobbal Feb 24 '10 at 18:20
