is there anyway it could stuff up my computer??

Anything you can can "stuff up" your computer, but the cances Firefox will do it? Slim.

aslong as it does not give me viruses or hurts my computer in anyway, i'll download it.

Nope, no viruses or any other harmful side stuff

i found this on the official website, do i need any of it
Linux
Software Requirements
Please note that Linux distributors may provide packages for your distribution which have different requirements.

Linux kernel - 2.2.14 with the following libraries or packages minimums:
glibc 2.3.2
XFree86-3.3.6
gtk+2.0
fontconfig (also known as xft)
libstdc++5
Firefox has been tested on Red Hat Linux 8.0 and later

If you use Windows, you can ignore the stuff about Linux.

ok, thanks, so all i need is
Pentium 233 MHz (Recommended: Pentium 500MHz or greater)
64 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater)
52 MB hard drive space ??

All I can say is that if your computer is under 6 years old it will pretty certainly work. If Internet Explorer works, I can almost guarantee you that Firefox will work, too. It's not a major system upgrade or anything, and if it doesn't work you can uninstall it. Just download and test.

ive downloaded it now, should i uninstall internet explorer???

It's up to you, but I don't even know if it is possible to uninstall it. Anyone know?
