Can I keep Thunderbird and get rid of Firefox Browser?

I am starting to use chrome and internet explorer 8. I would like to use those two and keep thunderbird as email client. Is this possible?

Answers:    Yes. Thunderbird is a standalone email client.
Yep. Nice choice with Chrome by the way. I haven't made the switch yet, but I'm thinking I might. Google really did well with it.
