Does downloading Firefox or any other browser for that matter overwrite my existing IE browser or do I still retain the choice of which browser to use?

Can I go back to IE if I don't like Firefox?

Hi! :) Downloading Firefox or any other browser doesn't overwrite your existing IE browser or any other browsers' files. It's 100% safe and you can go back to your previous browser at any time (it's still there for you) or even have them both open and working. You can even install many other browsers :)

They are separate programs and work independantly without any problems (like for example: MS Word and LibreOffice Writer or Winamp and Aimp or Winrar and 7Zip etc.)
