Hi possum13,

There is no requirement to uninstall IE. In fact, you'll want to be sure it's still there if you are going to import your bookmarks from IE to Firefox. After you've installed Firefox and the import is successful, you can delete IE if you like. After using Firefox, you'll never go back :)

Hopefully this helps!

No, you don't want to uninstall Internet Exploder, you may need it for Microsoft program updates.

It's up to you if you don't want to use it anymore.
