    No you can't uninstall IE, just set FF as your default browser and ignore IE.

    No need to uninstall IE, I have both installed as although I mainly use Firefox, a few sites only work with IE

    Just like the others said, you can't uninstall IE, it is integrated into Windows.

    You can have as many other browsers on your computer as you like without causing problems.

    I am a Firefox user and love all the useful add ons you can get for it.

    NEVER attempt to uninstall Internet Explorer (Unless its a BETA version)

    Thanks for al your replies. Please can someone tell me how to set Firefox as my default browser as I don't know when I am using it because nothing has changed.

    Thanks.
