I am interested in trying Mozilla as a web browser, however, I would like to know if it will override IE. Also, with two web browsers on your computer, can you use either/or. I have heard Mozilla has a few problems with some sites. Thank you.

you can use it and it Wont overide ie i use it as primary only use ie to get updates
Mozilla will work w/IE and the few sites that Mozilla will not work with far out weigh the security risks w/IE.
Keeping IE for Microsoft updates and to access the Knowledge Base.

You can have as many browsers on your computer as you want and use which ever one you want to use at the moment. I recomend Mozilla Firefox www.mozilla.com.
Mozilla is a separate browser, though it will import any IE urls upon being installed and that's all it will do. Mozilla has its own feel and look so don't expect an IE sameness but the end results are. Overall, as for some websites not Mozilla capable those are few and far in between and that's the fault of the website not necessarily of Mozilla, they just didn't do thier homework in being open to other browsers. I've tried many a browser just to play around with and Mozilla is right up there. For now though I use MyIE2 alot, which is what IE should have been should you decide to try yet another browser.
good luck -----Willy
