You can get firefox, but you have to keep IE.

As above replies say: IE is deeply woven throughout the Windows OS, so deleting it would be headaches beyond description: leave it dormant.


A handy arrangement is 'dual browser' session:


You can have as many different browsers open as you want at the same time , without significant slowdowns (if the site is not overly 'robust').


Attacks from the internet, using 'blended' methods are becoming more pronounced %26amp; Windows users are especially vulnerable due to the systems flexibility which permits remote machines to enter %26amp; access other 3rd party applications on your machine and get it to do something it was not intended to do.


This is especially true of using browsers as 'launchpads' for payload delivery. IE, being deeply woven into Windows, is a prime target, and makes using Firefox, with 'noScript' add on even more urgent.





Use Firefox for general %26amp; everyday surfing needs, especially to sites you don't know anything about. Depending on how many plug-in's and add-on's you ';hang'; onto FF, it's faster than IE, %26amp; inherently safer.

Try viewing a site with FF first, and if it does not allow the interaction you require, switch %26amp; use IE (via ';copy'; the URL from FF %26amp; ';paste'; into IE) but only when it's absolutely necessary; or to use 'Active X' or 'Flash' scripting: Use these at your own peril.


Flip back to FF when finished.


Special note for both browsers: ';Logged In'; sites must be ';logged out'; when finished, to terminate 'session cookies'.


**************


Note: Current threats include 'Antivirus 2009' or variants.


Because architecture of the Internet (notably 'Flash' scripting), vulnerabilities are readily exploited in Internet Explorer, %26amp; it is now %26gt;%26gt;urgent%26lt;%26lt; that you use Firefox with current 'NoScript' add-on, which will prevent ';opacity-based attacks';.


NoScript: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox鈥?/a>





This dual set-up will drastically reduce web based threats to your system, with low system overhead.
just download firefox. you cannot delete IE since it is built in but you can still download firefox on to your computer.
you can not just make firefox your default browser
