I'll be honest and say i'm using firefox. I love it.. the tabbed browsing with no pop ups is a joy for me. Also i noticed a steep decline in spyware on my pc.
Which browser do you prefer and why?

i prefer IE just because its what ive always used...i like Firefox for its built-in pop up blocker but other than that i dont see much difference between the two.

firefox is ok, if you like the slower image loading, and the need to install 50 plugins just to access certain sites

while i like firefoxes lack of popups anf spyware resistance
firefox isnt ready for mass use yet
and until then no matter what flaws IE has
you dont move into a house until they'd built the roof (firefox doesnt have a roof yet sorry)

I think Firefox has a very stable roof. It just has the real estate to be a better house. Firefox, in my opinion, is far superior to IE. Tabbed browsing alone makes the switch worth while. Firefox also rarely locks up or hangs like IE did for me all the time.

I do agree that using Firefox takes more than an idiot to run, but it's not exactly difficult. It also seems that Firefox is very popular in the developers crowd, which says a lot on its own. I know a lot of web and graphic designers, and I can't recall one of them liking IE better than Firefox. Even the old Firebird was a great browser...
