1. Remove all shortcuts to Internet explorer from the start menu, mydocuments, desktop, and search menus.
2. Install latest version of firefox, use IE themes.
3. Make a shortcut to start firefox, but change the icon to internet explorer, the retarded blue 'e' symbol.
4. Make sure you get all the bookmarks copied over.
5. Make sure any buttons, keys or special behavior moved to equal features on firefox.
6. Also put some firefox shortcut icons around the start menu and desktop.

One thing that I have noticed is that Mozilla tends to push Firefox fixes out as soon as they are ready, rather than waiting for a monthly patch cycle. For a home user, that's probably good (but annoying). For a corporation, it's royal pain.
