    Well, I did a little research and was able to find a tutorial to do that!!
    But I am happy with firefox.

    Next version of firefox should be better as Google supports firefox and might lend its technology for firefox 4.

    I preferred IE before, even refused to try anything else. After installing IE7 my problems started. Sometimes it looks like it's not reading webpages CSS. After trying different ways to fix it I switched to FF and haven't regreted yet. Now it's my favorite, and all it's addons are very helpful.

    Firefox is the best experience on browsing for me.
    although it is freezing sometimes.
    still worth it

    IE is unsafe. Chrome still crashes too much. I wish FF wasn't such a memory hog.

    Firefox rocks! I used explorer for many many years but now it seems respond very slow compare fire fox. The load time and quick page load up, google chrome no one can compare it. Even now, there are bugs I tested two websites out and compares it from fire fox and chrome, you can tell chrome has bit way to go to get it right.

    Considering you use your browser only for browsing purposes and not as a programmer or a SEO manager, I will recommend to use IE, simply because Microsoft do not fully respect W3 standards like FF. That means certain kind of Javascript coding will run under IE and simply won't under FF. Avoid at all cost Chrome, that won't let you see the full result of local code execution. This tool is still very fragile and does not comply W3 standards.

    But there are pro and cons in every of them:

    IE: most sites are designed to run under IE. When you see .asp or .aspx extensions it will run better on IE (microsoft technologies). Some security breaches, IE is the most hacker targeted browser due to be the most widespead.
    FF: wide range of plug ins, fully respects w3 standards (which will create errors on site that are not compliant), fast, reliable, rather safe.
    Chrome: Some local feature simply don't run under chrome. While it is fast, you might be not retrieving all the features and functions from a site.

    Initially what turned me to use Firefox was tabbed browsing. When I started using it and customizing it with add-ons, I became addicted and dumped IE. One more favorite thing is Greasemonkey.

    Faster browsing experience, theming, and customization with add-ons makes it favorite of lot of people.

    It helps me a lot in web designing too with ColorZilla, MeasureIt, and BugZilla plugins. If these were not there, I had to install few applications to achieve the same thing. Thanks to FF, they are available right in my browser with installation of tiny plugins.
