Frank - you weren't uninstalling IE, you can't - it's tied into the operating system and kernel calls. What I suggested was only going to do a factory reset, nothing more. Pretty straight forward and it'll probably fix your problem I suspect.
FireFox is OK, it's not my preferred browser (Konqueror on the Linux platform is). FireFox is a known memory hog, and has had major memory leaks since Firefox was pre alpha stage. Still hasn't been fixed. For a great while, PDF files would not work when embedded with FireFox too.
Oh, and FireFox is based on the old, and obsolete (imho) Gecko rendering engine - khtml and webkit are far better imho. To this day, FireFox still does not render flash pages correctly, at least if they are made W3C compliant and use the <object> tag...FireFox still relies on the <embed> tag which is not a W3C tag, has never been, and never will be. FireFox is the ONLY browser that does not recognise the <object> tag btw. Opera, Safari, Chrome, IE, all support the *correct* tag.
Sorry for the diatribe Mike, but FireFox is vastly overated imho.
