I use Firefox exclusively and it fits my needs perfectly. Since I use only laptops and my main machine has a 1920x1200 15.5" display in a docking station, it's great to just hit "CTRL +" to increase font size while kicking back with my wireless keyboard and mouse. I could also never live without tabbed browsing again, since by the time I finish reading the page I'm on, the links I've opened are all loaded and ready in the next tab.

I use the MOOX builds of Firefox since they are hands-down the fastest out there with full pipelining support and custom tailored to high-speed computers on high-speed connections. (http://www.moox.ws/tech/mozilla/)

Now if Microsoft would finally get around to releasing a version of Windows that supports the 64-bit extensions for my Athlon 64 3400+ and I'll finally be a happy man (I'm tired of having to reboot into SuSE in order to take advantage of my processor's 64-bit support while rendering videos).

Sorry, that won't happen until Longhorn ships. By then you'll be shelling out money for a new computer since Longhorn will probably be tied into Intel's new Palladium chip.
