Hello ralphmcgraw, DEFINITELY NOT.

Do NOT delete IE from xp, it needed for some processes including updates, also, Windows functionality etc.

Firefox is a web browser not a Operating System (OS), so DO NOT delete your xp OS.

the better is to update your OS to win 8 in a later time. Firefox works with xp for a least 2 more versions (Australis 29), and a little more. Now we are in 27 version, you can update to 27 also.


thank you
