Firefox is my browser of choice. ;D
I've tried many, but this is by far, my favorite. ^__^ |

IE7 might be nice and added tab support, but the reason I use Firefox is no longer tab browsing, but also the powerful extension you can download to enhance Firefox functionality.
I just counted and I have 16 extensions installed for my Firefox. A lot of them are really useful such as Adblock which block out most of the annoying advertisement. I also have mouse gesture which I can't live without now. Then there's East Asian Translator (very useful for Japanese site, one click translation), CustomizeGoogle (add link to other search engine for a search query), Forecastfox (give you forecast lol) and SearchStatus (display alexa ranking and Google page rank for a site, very useful for webmasters and site comparison)
Here's a list of "Best Firefox Extensions" written by CNET, I don't agree with all of them but this does give you some idea what some extension is capable of. |

Well in fact I'm using all of them at the same time. Cause every browser has its own preferences.
However, I like Opera most. It seems most comfertable to me. |

| I haven't tried opera but between Mozilla and Explorer I prefer Mozilla. Mainly because I really like the tab browsing feature. My brother's in love with his gestures but I never got around to getting them. |

Wow, I used to use Firefox simply because my computer programming dad is so worried about malicious files but after watching that hilarious video that Son_of_Sun posted I decided to give that site a shot.
After downloading the newest version of Firefox I decided to see what the hub-bub was about some of these newer extensions. Well, there amazing! It's probably been said about a million times in this thread but it really does allow you totally customize your browser to your wants and needs. Right now I'm running the following extensions:
+ Adblock (helps block troublesome pop-ups and ads)
+ Tab Mix Plus (allows you even greater control over tab-browsing)
+ Fasterfox (supposedly amps up your web surfing speed, seems to work surprisingly)
+ Reveal (amazing tab viewing dohickey!)
Oh, and I also acquired the Qute theme. It's awesome too! (and highly recommended)
Edit: I guess eyn's already ellaborated on some of this stuff. Sorry for the semi-double post. |

I'm personally a major fan of Firefox. Presently finishing off my first year at college, and comming into this place, everyone I knew (at least the minority PC users) were living off of IE... I'm glad to say I've converted enough of them

Im using firefox at the moment.
I tried Opera; its good, but I didn't like how I couldn't use my extensions. So I just went back to firefox.
Firefox is good on Windows, but it crashes a lot on Mac. But still its better than IE  |

I've been using Firefox for a long time. The most useful thing is tabbed browsing and I love it when I find a new extension that makes something simple even simpler. Built in Winamp controls are the best thing ever!  |
