It's apparently a dependency for other junk (for no good reason that I can figure out). If you're talking about IE4Lin, I'm suprised. If you're talking about on a Mac, still surprised since there's Safari. If it's Windows, you "can't" remove IE. It's apparently a dependency for other junk (for no good reason that I can figure out).

I have both installed on my comp but pretty soon I.E is gonna be taken off. It's just not as stable as firefox. I hate to admit, but I'm slowly starting to switch over to firefox.

The package could contain not only Firefox, but also OpenOffice.org, Scribus, Gimp, etc. Maybe something like the <a href="http://www.theopencd.org/" rel="nofollow">The Open CD</a>.

On my part, anyone that comes up to me and tells me they are having problems with IE, I tell them to install Firefox. It takes less time to install it than to try to pinpoint the problem on IE. I'm converting to Firefox one by one :) I've already voted. On my part, anyone that comes up to me and tells me they are having problems with IE, I tell them to install Firefox.
