Close down Firefox completely: At the top of the Firefox window, click the File menu, and select the Exit menu item.
In Windows, click Start, open the All Programs list, and navigate to the Mozilla Firefox folder. In the Mozilla Firefox folder, select Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). Firefox should start up with a Firefox Safe Mode dialog.
Note: You can also start Firefox in Safe Mode by clicking Start, selecting Run (or use the Start Search box in Windows 7 and Vista) and then entering the following in the text field: firefox -safe-mode

FIREFOX!! Faster, better, more secure, modern day web standards, very few security leaks, and you know how your computers gets slow over time?

YOU are not a mozilla firefox. Do you breathe fire? Mozilla firefox is one of a family of web browsers which got their start on UNIX and X-Windows with Mosaic, a college project co-created by Marc Andreessen. It was a graphics-based browser suite, which was experimental in those days. He managed to secure the rights and work it into a commercial product called netscape, which was immediately availble for UNIX and Linux — because the latter ran X-Windows too. Six months later it got ported over to Windows, and inspired Internet Explorer. Now two things happened over the next few years: first was IE of course — it came free with the OS. The second was more complex. Computers were evolving and in order to compete Netscape had to spend more on R&D than they were able to bring in. AOL bought them, but despite Open Sourcing this, as the Mozilla project, which brought in some Google funding, it proved one of the factors which brought them down too — the R&D costs. By 1998 it appeared moribund. Early in this century, the New Netscape finally appeared, from the Mozilla Project, as Mozilla, then two weeks later they released a surprise — the browser, not browser suite, called Mozilla Firefox. It turns out that what had held Mozilla up had been keeping it backward-compatible so what you had seen and done on the older netscapes would work properly on this one. One of the executives at Mozilla had given a sixteen-year-old intern the specs for just the browser component and told him to write a browser without worrying about backward compatibility. I don’t know that it took two weeks but he did it really quickly and people were soon so won over by it that Mozilla was discontinued in favor of a new Browser Suite called Seamonkey, which incorporated Firefox code into the browser segment, and the teenager got high paying jobs elsewhere. I don’t think he even has a formal degree but have no doubt he will get at least an honorary one.

There is more to it than that but that is what Firefox is — an OS-neutral web browser which was in essence born on UNIX which means it runs on Linux and is a repudiation of the idea that Linux has no software.

Firefox is a free browser and you could use it. Both IE and firefox could be installed on 1 computer and utilized together and separately.

For example, I use IE right now for my online banking and Firefox for Yahoo answer =P
