FW Editor: Utilu Silent Setup for Mozilla Firefox is a simple application that automatically installs Mozilla Firefox. Why a user would install Mozilla Firefox when he already has Internet Explorer installed by default?
Mark: Internet Explorer is installed by default in Windows, but Internet Explorer isn't a good browser, it's not even a web browser, because Internet Explorer doesn't comply with the official web standards. This results in incorrect rendering of many websites and/or (partly) non-working websites. Also Internet Explorer is closed source and much larger and slower than web browsers. But the most important reason not to use Internet Explorer is that it contains a lot of severe security vulnerabilities. This was the reason for security researchers like the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), a division of the Department of Homeland Security, to recommend switching to a web browser, like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari or Opera.
Because Microsoft has a dominant market position with their Windows Operating System web developers were forced to make additional versions of their websites, specifically designed Internet Explorer sites for every version of Internet Explorer. This undermined competition and innovation and increased the costs and the amount of (otherwise unnecessary) work it took web developers to build websites.
Because of these reasons it's important that people don't use Internet Explorer but Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Opera or any other standards compliant web browser.

Mark: Yes. Installing Mozilla Firefox doesn't need anything at all, so it doesn't require Internet Explorer or anything else.
