How did mozilla become my browser? And how can I change back to IE?

Somehow, my browser has been changed from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox. I don't know how this happened but I want to restore IE. Anyone know how it happened in the first place and more importantly how to restore IE?

    go to control panel, then click add or remove programs, look for mozilla in there and press unistall, restart the computer and you should be set.

    Open Internet Explorer, in the menu bar at the top, click on tools. Scroll to the bottom and open Internet Options. Go to the Programs tab, and click Make Default. I personally like Mozilla Firefox better, but this is your choice.

    You probably downloaded firefox, or came across something on-line that can only be viewed by firefox. Also you might have installed something that also installed firefox. Just open IE and in options set it back to a default browser, or go to control panel, then programs, then set defaults

    well, uninstall firefox.

    If you still want to keep firefox, then set IE as the default web-browser.

    Open IE, on the top-right hand side, select 'Tools'>'Internet Option'

    on the 'Programs' tab, yo'll see 'Default Web-browser'

    Hit 'Make default', then 'Apply', then 'Ok'

    That should solve your problem
