I'm sorry. I didn't answer your question directly. I have not had any problems whatsoever with my system that can be traced to having Mozilla installed. Not with IE. Not with Outlook. Not at all.
My problems, through minor, stem from insisting on using Mozilla in an IE/Outlook environment. I should also add that there are some Outlook attachments that I can't get with Mozilla (OLE attachments, I assume) and sometimes attachments I send that cannot be opened with Outlook (Mozilla bug?). Both these events are very rare, but I've encountered them so I thought I'd mention them.
