500 points EXCELLENT
I like Randy's suggestion for improving the robustness of the strategy.
It seems that the location of the Firefox executable is stored in the registry. The correct key is dependant upon a few things, including the version number of Firefox installed and the version of Windows in use.
For example, for Firefox 30 on Windows 7 (64-bit) the registry path is:

What Chris said is correct to a point, you would need to query the registry first to see where firefox is installed.

Shell "C:Program Files (x86)Mozilla FirefoxFirefox.exe ""http://www.google.ca""", vbNormalFocus 1:
Provided that Firefox is installed in the standard location on a 64-bit PC this will open http://www.google.ca in Firefox without requiring changing the default browser. If Firefox is installed in a different location, update the path accordingly.
