I am not able to open Windows Internet explorer now that I have made Mozilla Firefox my default browser. I would still like to have access to Explore. Every time I try to open it it says a problem has occurred. I don't get it. any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

please, uninstall the mozilla browser and then restart your computer and install again hope your problem will be solved.

You should still have a shortcut on the desktop to start IE or an entry in the Start menu.

Otherwise do a search for iexplore.exe and create a new shortcut to launch Internet Explorer.
