Firefox and IE are browsers and as such you don't frequently download programmes for them apart perhaps from add-ins which are browser specific most websites are not browser specific so just concentrate on your punctuation and don't worry too much about your browser.

If it's just software/programs for your PC in general, any browser will be able to download it.0

Not sure what you mean by
My main browser is Firefox and I have no problems at all downloading programs to run with Windows XP.... when downloading different programs and they say for IE ...
If you are talking about add-ons for IE then obviously you will need IE for the add-ons to add onto
Back to Firefox, I recommend the Flashgot add-on and and Free Download Manager
