Answer 1

Firstly tell your system admin he is a clot. If he must insist in forcing you to use IE at least make him upgrade to IE7 where you will at least get tabs and little extra sercurity.

Answer 2

Of course, a more feasible idea here is that using Policies, your System Admin has changed settings for everyone's Internet Explorer to use a proxy server. This is common in the corporate world.

Now in Internet Explorer, Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings



If you see proxy settings there, simply make a note of them. Both Opera and Firefox allow you to enter in Proxy settings. Once you do this, you will have no issues browsing the web.

Answer 3

Download firefox portable from portableapps.com and save it to a jump drive. Then you can run firefox off the jump drive on any computer at work.

Answer 4

Talk to your sysadmin. He's probably been cracking down on security, and therefore disallowing some programs.
