    I know that Firefox is an alternative to IE. Have been using IE6 without problems. But am curious about Firefox.

    IF I decide to install FF will it wipe out my IE6? Will I be able to switch back and forth easily if I choose? Or will it be a change that I can't change my mind about?

    Don't just tell me that FF is great, or that IE is crap. I want to know if they can coexist at the same time and if I can choose back and forth without uninstalling one or the other.

    Thanks!

    Hi rulisky
    Yes the can co exist. I have several browsers installed and all seem to play nice - even when they're running at the same time.
    Installing Firefox will not wipe out IE6. You'll get a prompt when you open or finish the install if you want to make Firefox you default browser. If you don't want to just click no and IE will still be the default.
    You also be able to import any bookmarks/favorites from IE when installing Firefox.
