Mozilla Firefox is an alternative web browser. I'd suggest trying it out instead of removing it right away - it is in some ways better than Internet Explorer. As always, your mileage may vary and you could find Firefox totally horrible after using it.
In case you don't like it it's perfectly safe to remove Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox is a Web browser which enables us to visit sites in internet as we see them using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Please do not delete it as it will not remove it's entries from the registries.
If u feel like u do not need that software any more, then you must uninstall it.
Goto Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs
In that you can see Mozilla Firefox. Click "Change or Remove" and uninstall the software...

Firefox is a web browser (a program you use for the internet), very similar to Internet explorer. You can delete it with out harming your computer. However, delete it by using Remove Programs in the control panel. If a promt comes up saying "One or more componants of this progream are used by other programs and may cause problems...blah blah blah" Click YES TO ALL

Its a free web browser from Mozilla. Its an open source code (simular to Linux) so you are able to help them debug and create new features.
If you go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it should be list there, simply uninstall it.

Mozilla is an alternate internet browser, yes you can delete it if you use another one, it's not required, some people prefer it to internet explorer.

It is a search engine. I love it. Also protects you when you check your banking accounts. I put all my credit information in mozilla firefox. They make sure your pass words are secure.
