If I was to use Firefox would I still be able to have IE on my computer so I would have access to both and consequently be able to use both if I wanted to, or would there be some sort of conflict between the two.
yes, both can exist happliy.
yes firefox is a geniunly nicer browser to use
yes both have had security problems (IE's being somewhat more prominent)
No IE cannot be removed from a machine
No firefox cannot be used to go to windows update.
yeh I think root pretty much covered it. I thim\nk it's good to have both. I use firefox most of the time and IE when I come accross somthing firefox won't load. (e.g. windows update)
