Browsers don't use the same cookies as other browsers, so your firefox cookies should be different to you internet explorer cookies. If you don't want internet explorer anymore, then uninstall it. Firefox is a much better browser. You can delete cookies from firefox too, so if you want to then you can do that. Internet explorer works in a similar way to firefox, so it should be easy enough to understand. I hope this helped.
Your browser store's where you've been i'm not sure where, but it does if you haven't change'd the default options,
Cookies is what your browser store to remember stuff, for example here on yahoo it store's a cookie that ur logged in on your account now cookies store much more then that, but you don't really need to know about such things,
Firefox user? **** YEAH! Firefox is the best, and if you go to the options you have a tab called "Privacy" here you can modify what you want it to store and what to not!
Now let's say you want ur browser to store where you been, but only this once you don't want it too, idk what you want but whatever, instead of opening the options and clean your history afterwords, there is something called "Private Browsing" this mode allows you to browse anything and nothing will be store'd while being in this mode! you can enter it by going to "Tools" and then you should see "Start Private Browsing"
