    You should use both - to make sure your site works for all users.

    The search engines will see a site totally differently to how you see it in a browser (unless you turn off javascript and images in your browser).

    Check how sites look in googles cache to see how search engines view them.

    Firefox is nice because of that HTML Code function, it has a nice layout and easy to read. However IE has more plugins and you don't have to download a flash plugin for IE or something every now and then. Firefox does that all the time, really annoying.

    I agree with dave487, do the SEO for both of them. The truth is that IE and Firefox renders pages differently. IE usually lets the scriptor get away with bad coding techniques as where Firefox follows the standards more closely. Personally I would code as close to the w3 html standard and test it out in both.

    Hi Zohaib

    Welcome to DP ;)

    Use both IE and MFF and other browsers to check your website, to make sure your visitor will see what you want them to see. As for me I use MFF more often because of some good functionality it offers like the tab function. :)

    No doubt that Firefox is the best for SEO, but if you are a designer then you have to use all popular browsers :)

    Firefox is better than IE but i suggest you to use both the browser as both the browser has different functionality.
