IE %26amp; firefox...?ies

You can have several browsers on your computer at one time and they will run just fine.

According to the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team you should not use IE:

"There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies related to the IE domain/zone...It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser"

http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/713878

IE uses Active X, here is what Microsoft says about it:

"An ActiveX control can be an extremely insecure way to provide a feature...From the moment a user downloads an ActiveX control, the control may be vulnerable to attack"

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defaul...

(Firefox by default doesn't have Active X at all)

For years IE has had a hole in it that they have never bothered to fix; with this hole many people had had their ID stolen:

No browser is perfect; just keep in mind that IE has the worst record of them all. Here is IE, Firefox and Opera side by side:

One for the road

IE supports webstandards very badly, here is a test you can take to see what I'm talking about:

IE %26amp; firefox...?windows update internet explorer

yes u can have ..u have Internet Explorer by default ..but if u want to download Firefox for faster browsing then go to http://vrajesh.co.nr ..Mozilla Firefox is free there. .
You can have both. You can even have Opera as well. I prefer Firefox because it seems to be faster, and I find the interface easier. But different people have different preferences.
Yes you can have both installed. I prefer firefox simply because it is not microsoft.
Yes you can. Nothing will happen if you have both installed (like I do).

The fact is, whichever browser you use is a personal choice. I personally like Mozilla Firefox better for several reasons. I only keep Internet Explorer installed because there are several websites that are only compatible with IE, such as Windows Update.
You can have as many browsers as you want on your computer! ( I have 3 right now ).

And guess what?... you can have 2 or 3 opened at the same time, (even 2 or 3 of the same one!).

Firefox is touted as being a safer browser than IE, as far as viruses go!
u can have as many browsers as u want on the same computer

i prefer IE, cos almost all websites are constructed on IE, that would be no problem browsing any..
If you have enough space in your garage, do you have to uninstall your porsche to park your ferrari?. You can have as many cars in your garage as much space you have!, with the time you will like one more than the other, but you have not to get rid of any of them.
There is no restriction on the number of browsers your computer is installed with. Although, I have both IE and Firefox reside on my computer, I prefer to use IE as it seems to be better than Firefox as IE displays the images properly.

Thanks!
Yes, you can both of them or any other like internet browser like Netscape, but with Firefox why do you want any other browser.
I have both installed at this very moment :D.

Firefox supposedly is safer. Lots of people use IE, which also means lots of viruses are targeted for IE.

Firefox enables me to download and open zip files (I don't have Winzip) and has a neat and tidy download window that pops up when ever you download something.

The new versions of both browsers have a Tab feature, which I really love, but in IE sometimes pop ups are brought up in a new window (which is annoying), whereas in Firefox it always comes up as a new tab (at least, that's how it is for mine).

Since IE use is more widespread, some websites might not work in Firefox, but you can always open IE real quick to browse the site.

Overall, I like Firefox better ^^..
Ya you can have them both on the same PC. It depends on which one is better. I have an older PC and IE runs better on it but on my newer PC with Xp Foxfire runs a lot better.
U can have both of them together.From my point of view firefox is better since it blocks pop-up's efficiently.But if you want to get a fascinating surfing experience if prefer you to install Opera 9.10 which has a handfull of features.You can download it from www.download.com.(U can have all the three at the same time).
