If I change my browser to Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, will I still have access to my files that were saved using IE? Please a non-techno answer.

I have been receiving notices that my browser (IE) is out of date and will soon be unsupported. All of my files have been saved in Internet Explorer and I am concerned that I will no longer be able to access them if I change to another browser, but I will soon lose access to them anyway, I guess. Is this true? Do you have any suggestions? I am a person without much tech knowledge so please answer using non-tech language. I may be slow responding since my tech person is my daughter who may have more questions or information.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for your prompt answer to my question re: changing to FireFox from IE. One final question: Do I absolutely need to change from IE and if so, when do I have to change? I understand it would be beneficial to leave IE due to updates no longer being available, but I have no experience with any other.
