# TJ
Is firefox worth using? Uninstall IE?

w/y/h to the pic by the way.

EDIT: many thanks my strange and nerdy, speccy, internet-twat friends! I'll install it as soon as I get home, which if I bypass the pub, will be in about 30mins. Huzzah!

I've kept IE though, because there are a few sites that aren't FoxFriendly.

# you can't really uninstall IE without buggering windows up.
firefox will happily run alongside it, and you can set it as your default browser

# use firefox

i do at home, but don't uninstall IE. it's always handy to have a back up. and i dont think you can have windows updates without IE.

firefox is good, it has never crashed on me like IE does

# If you have XP I dont think you can uninstall IE
I know you cant get rid of Media Player or Outlook (and not through lack of trying)

# Had that for a while
(tried Opera and Netscape) but a lot of web sites only work in IE now. Plus you have to re-enter passwords etc. It does automatically import IE favorites and tabbed browsing is pretty woo, but MS have the market tamed methinks.
