Is It Okay To Have Multiple Internet Browers?

Muzic Lopez · 10-10-2009, 10:35 PM

I apologize if I am using the wrong terminology, but I will clarify on what I mean.

I am currently using Internet Explorer, but I am thinking about going back to Firefox.

Is there any sort of problem in having both Internet Explorer & Firefox installed & using both for my day-to-day web surfing?

No problem at all...........you can have as many browsers as you want.

When you install Firefox you will be presented with the option to import from Internet Explorer all your favourites/bookmarks etc.

You will be asked if you wish to make Firefox your default browser.....you can have only one as default....you must choose the one you wish.

Yes, it's perfectly fine to have several browsers installed. I personally have about four of them installed, i.e. IE, FireFox, Opera, Safari and K-Meleon.

Nice decision going back to Firefox. It uses the least RAM among all up-to-date browsers.
