I just bought a used laptop with it already on it. What is it and if it is something good can it be transferred between computers?

Firefox is an alternative to Internet Explorer... works much better and is safer because it doesnt use active x controls, which is how spyware gets on systems... anyways.... you can get it free on the other systems at getfirefox.com

Mozilla Firefox is a graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation and a large community of external contributors. Firefox, officially abbreviated as Fx or fx[3] and popularly abbreviated FF,[4] started as a fork of the Navigator browser component of the Mozilla Application Suite. Firefox has replaced the Mozilla Suite as the flagship product of the Mozilla project, under the direction of the Mozilla Foundation.
Mozilla Firefox is a cross-platform browser, providing support for various versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. However, the source code has been unofficially ported to other operating systems, including FreeBSD,[5] OS/2, Solaris, SkyOS, BeOS and more recently, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.[6]
Firefox's source code is freely available under the terms of the Mozilla tri-license as free and open source software. The current stable release of Firefox is version 2.0.0.2, released on February 23, 2007.[7]

Firefox is another web browser like Internet Explorer. It is open source which means that the source code can be edited by other people if they want to try and make changes. As of now, it is a pretty good alternative, if not better, to IE

A faster, more stable internet browser than Internet Explorer that is already installed on windows machines. IE is a seperate entity than the operating system.
Check out the site and install firefox browser. You'll notice a big difference.
