I'm running XP with SP2.
Can I just go ahead and install Firefox (I mean I can't uninstall MSIE)...will Firefox ask me if I want to make it my default browser...or how does it work?

Yes - exactly that - there's a small learning curve - tho' no more than when you first start using any new program.
You will be able to import your IE bookmarks straight into Firefox and many of the standard toolbars such as Yahoo, Google, Spoofstick are available together with many other extensions that give Firefox additional functions.
PS I'm running XP SP2 with the Firefox 1.0 - no problems whatsoever :)
Additional Edit:-
In Firefox Toolbar Menu: Tools > Options > General - towards the bottom you will see a check box for 'Default Browser'.
No need to uninstall IE.

Wumply, it is very simple, no need to uninstall IE, as Firefox is a Separate Program for Internet Browsing. Just download and run the install package, and it will very clearly prompt you and ask if you want to import Bookmarks/Favourites and set to default browser etc. :D
