I just installed FireFox on my DeskTop computer windows 7, and on my Laptop Windows 7.

When I click on the Start button, and search I can find Internet Options. They appear to be active.

Is this right? Or do I need to remove it? I would like a complete, scrub down, removal of all traces of Internet Explorer method for, version 9, 10, and 11. ALSO

HI BenLamfers, Internet options are also built into the operating system, it may cause issues accessing the internet on the Windows 7 machine.

However if you would like to learn how to do it yourself and test Firefox with it disabled, the instructions are here: http://computerstepbystep.com/internet_options_windows_7.html

Internet Options are not only for IE, but are needed for the Windows OS to connect to internet to download updates or search for help and other actions that require internet. Firefox also use this for the default "Use the system proxy settings" connection setting to connect to internet. So you need to make sure that this setup is correct and leave it.
