    I'm not sure that the browser is relevant, as you're optimising for search engines...

    Cryo.

    True, but the browser is one of the tools used to complete the SEO work performed.

    Browser itself´s not but FF is just an upgradable piece of software that helps your SEO needs as well (Chromedit+, Seo for FF, Flashgot, etc extensions...).

    On the other hand 90% of my visitors use IE.

    For browsers, I really prefer Firefox. It's much easier to navigate.. I guess it just comes down to preference and whether or not your comfortable with what you're using. There are people who work much faster with Firefox... and vice versa. :)

    Firefox makes my jobs easier because of some of their features such as "view page info".

    I use FF, but it's almost like asking what email program SEO people use, or what type of chair they sit on!

    I use Firefox for a few months now, looks great, has great tools, you can monitor your backlinks, ranks, indexed pages while doing other things.. it`s just great.

    I use Firefox. The plugins and extensions (web developer tool bar, SEOpen, Seo for FireFOx, etc..) really make analyizing a website easier and faster than just looking at code. And the "Inline mode" for viewing the source is really nice when you are trying to look at one specific part of the code.

    Plus I have found that FireFox is just overall better than IE.

    Firefox has some great plugins. Because of them it's better when you are doing SEO work. I use one called informenter to do all may directory additions. :)

    I use FF. Like others have said, it has some good plugins for SEO. The one's I like and have installed currently are:

    SEOpen
    Web Developer

    If you do a search for these plugins, you'll find them. They're VERY handy. :)

    neither. I use opera.

    everyone loves firefox but I don't quite get why. using the application the way I tend to use most applications, it'll be at 400MB+ of ram after not too long... but I guess it all depends on your browsing habbits.

    personally opera renders tons faster for me, uses less memory, etc. the only real downside is the lack of plugins to the extent that firefox has. but firefox is just way too slow for me to put up with in the majority of my tasks.

    That is one reason to use Firefox. I like Firefoxs usability. It doesn't crash and lock up like IE and I can run all my windows together without worrying about going down to the menu to click my windows. Firefox is way better than IE but the preference is personaly yours.
