Re: Which Browser do you use and why?
FF in general, IE for windows updates and hotmail, Opera for its download manager (crashes too often for normal use)

Re: Which Browser do you use and why?
Firefox 99% of the time because I find it a lot more stable and usable than any other browser, plus there's the security aspect and the addons you can get for it are great!

Re: Which Browser do you use and why?
Firefox cos its quicker, more customizable, more secure and can pause your download and resume when ever you need to.

Re: Which Browser do you use and why?
Had to vote "Other" as I mainly use IE6.
I use Firefox for testing mainly.

Re: Which Browser do you use and why?
My main choice is Opera.
For those sites that don't work in Opera, I use IE 7 (PC) or Safari (Mac)
Never use Firefox if I can avoid it.

Re: Which Browser do you use and why?
Firefox all the way -- for it's configurability and invaluable extensions.
(only use IE to reach my WebStar modem's config)

Firefox, you've got to love all those add-ons and plug-ins.
