...I have IE, Firefox, Netscape, and Opera, but Firefox is the only one I use regularly. I love it!...

I found Firefox to be sloooow, and I have a broadband connection.

I prefer Opera, myself.

I think rendering is slower on Firefox than IE, but my IE is so bogged down by Spybot warnings that I use Firefox exclusively for eBay browsing. I prefer IE for Freerepublic. Scrolling is smoother on my PC.

I tried FireFox on my Mac and it also seemed slow to me.

That's cool. What's interesting is that you'll never see anyone say "I prefer IE, myself."

I use Firefox; took me 2 minutes to decide to switch from Netscape 7. Have always avoided Internet Exploder; it supersucks.

I wish FireFox would save the URLs of my open tabs like Opera does. There was a plug-in or something to do this but it was obsolete the last time I checked.

Opera is a good browser, though it's been a while since I've used it. For those who find firefox to be too slow, you might check out This link, which is a thread with some helpful hints for speeding up firefox.
