You can delete the ie icon but do not fully get rid of it because then oyu internet will not work.

Theres no "clashing" between them. Firefox isn't intrusive on the OS like IE; its merely another program. IE wont even know its there so to speak.

Personally I just remove the IE icons from my desktop and such and replace them with firefox icons. But theres really nothing at all you need to do.

----- edit------
oops, guess im too slow =(

Nothing will happen to IE. It just stays there. Firefox is a separate browser all together. You need to keep IE for whenever you use Windows Update, or for other site compatibility issues. Some sites only work in IE...

I love Firefox, and I highly reccomend it.
