    I'm using the most recent version of Mozilla Firefox because it's the most secure (block pop-up ads, etc.). I will occasionally use Internet Explorer to browse websites that doesn't load on Firefox.

    I liked the old Firefox more -- it blocked all kinds of pop ups, whereas the recent versions still enable SOME pop ups.

    i like to use firefox the most. i think its interface is the smoothest and not sloppy and very easy to use, unlike all the other ones out there.

    Use both IE or FF. Cuz sometimes, certain websites dont work properly with FF hence i need both.

    i remember there was another forums that had a similar poll.. yep similar results a lot more people used firefox.. i guess its because there's less bugs, more features.. and faster :) - not to mention the download integrated download manager is pretty good :)

    Firefox.
    IE-rarely-used only for testing purposes
    Opear
    Maxton
    and another one a friend developed.
    As for the average user, i would not recommend firefox. With the right settings, IE can perform properly.
    With firefox, there are certain sites that won't display properly (although never had this happen to me), and for those occasions that you do need IE, check out IE Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
    Its a fox plugin that allows you to open sites in IE as a tab in fox itself.

    mainly use FF
    main reason FF crashes is cos the sites are stupid and don't follow the standards, and instead do microsoft stuff htere

    i've been using ff for a few years and i love it. it takes a bit longer to load initially but afterwards everything is really fast and rarely crashes on me. i love that i can customize with all kinds of themes and extensions too. occasionally i will use ie for sites that dont work on ff

    i use IE7 as my main, and FF as a backup when IE doesnt want to work properly

    IE7 loads so much quicker than FF, thats the reason i use IE7

    IE7 has been pretty good..though i've found some querky bugs with it..when trying to access network resources...never too fond of ff cuz of some websites not wanting to work but overall its a decent browser also

    i like maxthon the most though...very feature rich and lots of ad blocking capabilities, and rss thread readings and the mouse gestrues are fun to play with
