Is there a disadvantage to keeping Internet Explorer 9 on my Windows 7 laptop after I install Firefox?

Don't uninstall IE. You may need it to use some parts of Microsoft's site!

Your IE9 on W7 Should be IE11 to keep up to date.

Actually I checked on my desktop, and my browser is IE11, even though some website told me I was on IE9 and needed to upgrade. so if I want to switch to Firefox, should I then uninstall IE11? Thanks.
