Definitely. Both IE9 and Firefox 5 made Facebook not work. Good enough reason to upgrade in my opinion. Any site that puts a Facebook embed in it only shows a Facebook logo and not all the other stuff.

I went to IE 9 upgrade just about when it became available . Virtually no Iternet explorer has stopped working warnings. Also seems to work fine in compatibility mode when needed.

Yes - upgrade to IE 9. That said, I prefer Firefox.

Since parts of IE are required by windows, not upgrading to the latest version is insane. 9 has better malware protection, and fewer vulnerabilities. Even it you never use it you should upgrade just to protect your computer.

My wife recently upgraded to IE9 without meaning to (just applied recent MS updates without really looking) and she didn’t even notice the difference.

I only use IE for sites that are not Firefox friendly.
Firefox is just plain faster

It doesn’t hurt, and it upgrades you to Window’s latest browser, even if you don’t use it.

I’d install it because that way you have all the current updates applicable to your OS, but I’d use Firefox as my main browser.

It works much better and faster for me. The only downside is that the command bar is relocated, so it takes a while to get used to where things are.

I did a search on IE9 & here is what I found:
Remember, IE9 only runs on the most recent flavors of Microsoft's operating system—Windows 7 and Vista—and there are separate installers for the two and separate versions for 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
After downloading the correct installer, running it takes longer than installing Chrome, Firefox, or Opera (Free, 4 stars), and, also unlike those, it requires a reboot and OS updates.
