    ive tried firefox twice now and really really dont like it, but i do wish that IE had that neat adsense addon where it counts your earning.

    i can see the appeal, but ive grown to love IE.

    I love firefox think it loads pretty quickly compared to IE and I love being able to open tabs (yes I know IE does that now but it didnt when I started to use Firefox).

    Though does anyone find that sometimes when you go to open FF you get a message saying it's already open and not responding, forcing you to have to go to Processes in the task manager and end it before you can open it? I only noticed this after the most recent update.

    firefox. IE doesn't render half of css correctly. You also have to do a ton of work a rounds for any AJAX development.

    That is the perfect reason... The fact that I can open it up middle click to tab open all my favorite windows and be on the road in less than 10 sec is my dream come true :D

    I'm a long time user of firefox BUT if it wasn't for tabbed browsing I would be using IE. In fact as soon as IE 7 gets it's act together I'm going to use it.

    A lot of web pages haven't been tested in FF, so I see a lot of errors in FF. Also FF doesn't render everything properly.

    It consumes a lot of memory, loads slowly and all that.

    Sometimes I forget to test in IE since I'm always in FF so I end up with poorly rendering pages.

    Overall firefox is interesting, not really all that good, consumes A LOT of memory and sometimes runs really slowly.

    Internet Explorer here I come.

    In fact the only reason I keep using FF is because this is where all my usernames and passwords are.

    The tabbed browsing is an awesome feature by Firefox and its flexible as well,Internet explorer is also good but when it comes to watching Flash content websites,i use both but mostly Firefox has me!

    The only problem i face using Firefox is when you dont get to see the Flash animation and .SWF files !!! Rest its awesome!

    I am currently on FF,so you can understand to whom my vote goes to.

    Opera sometimes results in double posting in many of the forums where I am regular

    But still,I would prefer FF not to crash so often.Atleast @ my end,it sometimes looks more crash prone than @ others.

    Firefox for me. I've got my copy extensioned out to the max, including IE emulators to see what the pages I build will look like when IE runs them. Just the add-ons and extensions that you can add to FF makes it hands down WAY better.

    I got safari, firefox, opera, camino and Shiira, but I can only use firefox (I love my extensions :)), I can't stand the other browsers (specially IE).
