When you installed Firefox, I presume you set it as your default browser. This caused the IE tile to disappear. You can just pin it back to Start, or you can set IE as your default browser. Either way will get the tile back.

Answer 3

Go to all apps, right click Internet Explorer in the list, and select pin to start. This should bring it back into the main tile list, and normally it shouldn't unpin itself.

You can then move it around into a location you like.
