For certain things I need to be able to use Safari and would like to know if you can help me to do that without getting rid of Firefox. Thanks, Bneeds

What browser is currently set as the default browser?

If Firefox is set as the default browser then it is possible that links that open the default browser will now open Firefox.

You may have to set Safari again as the default browser.

You can use as many browsers as you'd like. Just install Firefox, and use it when you need it, and use Safari for when you need it.

I tried that, but whenever I am in Safari and click a link, Firefox comes on, and I cannot get rid if it, - it keeps coming on!
