Can I add Firefox as a secondary browser?

Tom_798

I have I.E.9 installed browser & Windows Vista operating system. I've been told I can install Firefox as a secondary browser & keep I.E.9 as primary browser. I want to know if this is possible & how do I install & switch between browsers?

Try the full installer, and try the install again.

You can use multiple browsers at a time and or installed at a time. You can only select one defualt browser (you can still use the others) which is configurable from the control panel.

I am seeing that Version 24 is what will be downloaded & installed. My system requirements don't meet this. How could I download an older version that will meet requirements? I have AMD dual core (1.70GB) processor.

Your computer should run Firefox 24 just fine, what are you seeing that won't meet requirements?

System requirements are telling me I have to have a Pentium 4 or better processor. I only have an AMD 64x2 (1.70GHz) dual core.

AMD 64x2 is a lot newer (better) than Pentium 4.
