I am being prompted to install Firefox to use the MobileMe site with my IPAD. Before I download, I'd like to know if I can KEEP Internet Explorer as my Default Browser. I am NOT great with my computer and therefore would have difficulty fixing any technical challenges.

Yes you can keep IE as your default browser when installing Firefox, just answer NO when Firefox asks if you want to set it as the default browser.

What's that about the iPad? You can't install either IE or Firefox in the iPad, neither has a version for iOS.

I'm not trying to download to the iPad - I'm downloading to my desktop so that I can use the MobileMe site (to find my iPad or transfer data). Thanks for your reply.
