Microsoft is the devil. 90% of the things that are "ms" are proprietary and many things are blocked.
You can keep both browsers safely. I actually prefer my Safari browser but it doesn't have the multiple lines of quick links that I got with the plugin for FF. Nor can I change skins on it to have little kitties across the top. Little things like that you won't get wit IE either.
Why not install it and play around using it for awhile? Install it, when you get the pop up that asks if you want it to be your default browser, say no but leave the box checked to make the pop up keep showing until you make your decision.
Make sure you go to Tools > options and set it up how you want it to behave as well.
You can have fun on the site finding addons too.
But basically, you need to see the > View > view source (or page source in IE) to find the code that houses the videos.
If the code is a simple link, you can grab the link and test it with the preview post feature because most video embeds with a simple link here. Some you can't grab that easily and you need an add on from FF that allows you to grab xml or other flash videos off the web.
To do that you just go to (In FF only) Tools > page info - and find the video in the media tab > highlight it and save as. Hopefully you have a player on your system that will then be able to read the file you just saved. IE does NOT do this by default. FF does.
