Firefox is the BEST! The extensions are great. Even if you want to use IE as a backup, download the "IE view" extension and fire it up when needed. I almost never use IE anymore. This because of IE being a magnet for malware, security exploits, adware, lack of effective built-in-popup blocking mechanism, and it being a resource hog.

Firefox is lightweight, highly configurable, and most of all subject to peer code review.

What do you think will happen if Firefox goes from 5% to 20% of market share, and the A-Holes who write and distribute adware, malware, viruses, and security threats now have the incentive to turn their attention from IE to FF?
