If you have accidentally uninstalled firefox then re-install it. If you are lucky and did not specifically delete or opt to remove personal settings you may still have retained passwords an bookmarks etc.

You should be able to download using Internet Explorer. Alternatively download the install file to the laptop, transfer it, on a memory stick, or by any other method to the other pc and then run the install.

It is not a good idea to uninstall IE on a windows machine, it tends to be required for security updates to the OS etc. Whatever your problem it may be a bit deeper than just a problem with Firefox.

Anymore details about Firefox being 'lost'. Try searching for the Firefox main program file. firefox.exe are you able to find that. It may just be a shortcut or icon missing, try using run -> firefox (I think that is available still on Win 7)

What are the problems with IE ?
