Using FireFox instead of IE

How can I get it to work using FireFox instead of IE?
Can I replace InternetExplorer.Application with "Firefox.Application"
Where can I find a name list of "qualified" applications that can be created using CreateObject?
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

Thanks.
