I want to download Firefox, but NOT have it as default browser, and not affect other users on the computer - is this possible?

I want to install Firefox, and be able to use it on demand, whilst retaining Internet Explorer as default browser. Will I be able to use either browser as and when I wish?

Thanks, and sorry for being stupid!

You can install Firefox and keep IE as the default. You can even run them at the same time if you want.

Hi Tony,

Thanks a lot - I thought that was the case, but needed to check!

Will McAfee security talk to Firefox ok? Site Advisor etc?
