Google dumps Firefox from download bundle
Google has made Chrome the default browser in the English version of Google Pack, the search company's application bundle, replacing Firefox.
On Thursday Google dropped the "beta" label from Chrome, the browser it introduced three months ago, and issued the first production version for Windows XP and Vista.
Google Pack is a one-download collection of Google-made and third-party applications that includes Google Desktop, Google Earth, Picasa, Adobe Reader and Norton Security Scan.
Firefox remains on the list, but is not selected for download as part of Google Pack by default.
Instead, the box beside it is left unchecked.
