2. Launch Firefox by double-clicking its desktop icon. Navigate to the "Download Internet Explorer 8" Web page. Click on the "Download" link next to the language you want for Internet Explorer on your computer.

3. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the prompts. When the install wizard completes, Internet Explorer will be ready to use on your computer.

4. Click the "Start" button and then "Control Panel." Click "Programs," then "Programs and Features."
