Food chain in reverse

Just now I found myself doing a very strange thing: using Firefox to download Internet Explorer onto my computer. Before that, I had used Google's Chrome to download Firefox. This, I would guess is the reverse of the order most people get their browsers on Windows: most people have IE and just stick with it. A lot will fire up IE to download Firefox, and some adventurous few will use FF to grab Chrome to see what the fuss is about.

The reason I had to do it in reverse is that a malware infestation deleted most well-known applications from my computer, including three out of the four browsers I had installed.
