Not to mention the problems often incurred by installing a third party browser.
What problems would those be? OP had problems *before* installing Mozilla
Firefox. AFAIK, Fx does not use any MSIE hooks. I've had Mozilla Firefox
installed on several computers, running alongside of MSIE with no problems.
I've got Firefox, SeaMonkey and Opera all running alongside of MSIE7 on my
own computer, with no problems.
I always rip out the bundled BHOs (Google on HP Pavilions with Windows XP,
Yahoo! on HP Pavilions with Windows Vista). And refuse to let them install
when offered as bundled options when installing the likes of Irfanview.
BHOs are more problematic that third party browsers.
