Firefox is an alternative browser. Some people like it better than IE,
others don't. I've tried Firefox, and am not crazy about it at all.
My personal preference is IE7 with the Maxthon shell running on top of
it. If you'd like to try it, it's free from
http://www.maxthon.com/
If you use Firefox, Maxthon, or any other browser, it doesn't replace
IE. There's no need to go "back" to IE, since it will have been there
all along. You can run either whenever you want, and even run two
browsers simultaneously.
