I set Firefox as default browser, and now IE is gone. How do I get it back?

I downloaded the current version of Foxfire and set it as my default browser. I need to apply for work and many companies only support IE. I clicked on IE and only Foxfire opens on that icon. I can't find my IE, my bookmarks there are gone and I can't apply for the jobs! I took Firefox off as default browser, but it didn't bring back the IE. I am very unhappy at this point and need help!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when I set Firefox as my default browser

After a lot of messing around with settings, and different windows, I found that it's only the desktop icons that are defaulting to open the Firefox browser. If you go to your program list, and open IE there, it works and all the bookmark info is still there.

TS4147 I deleted what I thought were duplicate contacts and now they're gone, how can I get them back?

My address book on the mac showed duplicate contacts so I started to delete them. I deleted A-C. However, on icloud.com, they were not duplictaed and now all of my A-C contacts are gone. How can I get them back?

I think i did the same thing. I just got a new MacBook Air and when it synced with iCloud I had doubles of all my contacts. Now I'm missing most of my contacts as well.... Someone please help with a solution to this mistake....

There used to be a arrow next to the first site that would come up in the search and now it's gone how do you get it back?

For instance I go to a biker site and once I put that in Google search it's the first one that comes up on the list of websites there used to be a arrow pointing at that site and as you would scroll down a arrow would be pointing at each site and I could click the enter button and it would select that site. Now it's gone and I can't figure out how to get it back.

Firefox installed an update and deleted my toolbars! How do I get them back?

I had several toolbars that I was using with Firefox and they worked fine, and after Mozilla updated Firefox the other day, my toolbars all disappeared! When I went under "View" and selected "Toolbars" my toolbars were listed and checked but would not display. Sadly, I clicked on Reset Firefox, hoping that would clear things up, and instead it really reset Firefox to the beginning and now I have NO toolbars to choose from. My previous toolbars are not listed in the extensions file or the add-on file. How do I go about getting them back and/or finding out if they are compatible with Firefox? Unfortunately, it seems Firefox is becoming less and less compatible with anything!

Google Toolbar: [[Google Toolbar is no longer compatible with Firefox - Here are some alternatives]]
Yahoo Toolbar: [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/]
The NPR Toolbar I'm not sure what that is, but you can always google search it and find the toolbar (or a similar one).

Tried to move the settings icon on my display and now its disappeared. How can i get it back??

Tried to move my settings icon on my display screen and now I've lost it. How can i get it back??

You can't delete the settings icon form an iPhone. so it either ended up in a folder with another app, or in another screen.
You'll have to look for it.
You can use Spotlight by swiping down from the middle of the screen, to search for it. If its in a folder, it will tell you which one.

I had to get a new hard drive and now iPhoto is gone. Can I get it back?

I had to replace my hard drive and now my iPhoto is gone. Is there a way to get it back?
Thanks

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

Had youtube add on, now it's gone; how do I get it back ?

I had a program called Medium Human Audio Converter on Firefox (with a little YouTube icon on the Firefox 21.0 home page). It made it possible for me to take a YouTube song and put the song into ITunes. The "Medium Human Audio Converter" icon is STILL on the dock (I have a Mac OS 10.6.8), and when I click on it I still get the drop down window that the song 'media' gets dragged into. But the actual YouTube icon that was on Firefox, and that I clicked on when the song began, and got the song title etc. on the desktop to drag to the converter drop down window has disappeared. No matter what I do with 'tools,' and 'toolbars,' and add ons etc. I can't get that YouTube icon back. I am obviously missing a few somethings in the steps I'm doing. Anybody know how to get it back ?
Thank You !

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" to make Firefox find them again.

Tool bar, and everything else is gone, how do i get it back?

When i open illustrator the tool bar and everything else is gone, only the top menu is still there, i tried to activate tool bar under window menu, but that option is also gone.
I tried to use tab key, but it does not work either.
Anyone knows what to do?

Now what I told you is so, this is what is causing this and you will either make the effort to understand or you will not solve the problem.
You did try to make an alias and you goofed up, that is correct you made mistake, this is user error.
That is the first thing you have to accept if you cannot so be it, but I will never try to assist you again.
This is the problem I can easily reproduce as I know what you did.
Here take a look, does this look familiar.
Does the icon on the left look familiar?
That is the application outside of the Adobe Illustrator folder.
That's correct you moved it either on purpose or by mistake outside of the folder
and that is why the two of you do not have menu items and tools.
Now the way to fix this is the way I wrote before and this is user error.
And I have met other users on the forum who could not admit they made a mistake before as well.
I am writing this actually for users who really want help and have no problems admitting the did something in error.
I have nothing else to say about this

The Red Firefox tab in the upper lefthand corner is gone. how do I get it back?

my desktop at home has this Firefox tab and if I click it I can see tools, History, bookmarks etc. I would like to get it back. Can you help?

* You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
* If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.
