bonsaimax Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I'm considering giving Firefox a go. Question: Is it possible to have both Firefox and IE 6 installed? Will there not be any conflict? And is it possible to use them both simultaneously because i think some websites wont work with Firefox. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes both firefox/IE co-exist. Wish I could get rid of IE though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes both firefox/IE co-exist. Wish I could get rid of IE though. As brit says they are independant clients and will have no issues with conflicts. As for IE there are some banking sites that require it or a browser that uses the IE engine such as Avant browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manx_bkk Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 You can also use IE within firefox with IEtab extension. It uses the IE engine, works perfectly even with windows update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfokevin Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) You want to keep IE around... Their are a few websites that only work on IE - that is bad web design... If you use Foxfire check out their extentions area... Tools/extentions/get extentions... I like the world clock one that allows you to put different timezones at the bottom: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1117/ here are some other that are nice: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1269/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2410/ and if your into customizing the look check out the skins too...

sbk Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 There is also an add on that will open an IE browser window within firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Careful. If you back out of IE6 to IE5 for any reason, you may find Firefox has been affected. A nasty habit of IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breconion Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I use firefox and mozilla and opera and IE, all open at the same time as I use the different browers for different sites. No conflict. Many (21) tabs open on firefox. There is also thunderbird mail client There are many add-ons and extensions available and it is fun just to browse through them and see what you can do with firefox Change over and get rid of IE numbers now changing over seems to be large.
