For me it depends on what I am doing.

For buying things, research, business - IE.
For general browsing, forums, downloads - Firefox.

The way I see it is when I am operating under my 'sensible business' persona, I use the Microsoft offering; and for when I revert to a 'normal person', I want the livelier Mozilla browser. The other advantage of using two browsers, is that you can run both side-by-side without having to reorder the tabs to accommodate what you are doing at the specific moment - Also with 2 monitors, it works so well.

I have tried most browsers which have been released; I used Opera for a while, but in the end I decided upon IE and FF - No surprise as I see these as the two best general browsers available.

I use Firefox. I don't remember I started using it but there is no way I'm going back to IE now. I would go crazy without all the wonderful firefox addons like add-blocker and webmail notifier.

I've actually switched to using Opera exclusively since 10.60 came out. It looks slick and is quite a bit faster than Firefox subjectively. :yahoo:

i use ff, since ie is made for the spying makers, not for the security of users

I use Foxywoxy, but SeaMonkey is better these days. Please don't 'fix' it and dump Java!

Hmm, why is IE listed? It's common knowledge that Internet Explorer is not an actual browser, it's a single-use tool for the sole purpose of downloading FireFox on a new or formatted computer. :joker:

I use Chrome, changed about a year ago after having used Firefox for a long time. Chrome is faster, slicker and uses less of the screen for the menu & toolbars. The add-ons are easier to install and uninstall, program updates are seamlessly installed, I could go on forever... it´s basically what Firefox used to be.
