    I primarily use IE7, mostly out of habit, but I do use Firefox as well, just not as often.

    Firefox 2 is my default browser on both platforms (PC and Mac). I like using one cross-platform product if I can, and the M$ product is clearly inferior in this case. Only problem is, some sites just don't work in Firefox, including lots of my employer's intranet sites (for reasons I can't explain :mad: ). So I do use IE when I have to.

    Firefox 2 also is my primary browser and I only use IE when I really have to, in cases like Steve mentioned.
    I do have some extensions in Firefox I use, such as my Verizon minute usage, which is really neat, and different themes.

    I am back using IE. I tried using Opera for a while, but it had some issues with formatting, finding web pages. Memoery leaks & formatting in the old version of Firefox made me dump it. I will check out 2.0 soon.

    I use Firefox by choice, but IE is my company's standard, so all my webtesting has to be done in IE -- thus I tend to use IE at work.

    I use Firefox, although I have used IE7 a bit, and it is much improved over IE6.

    9 votes for Firefox, versus 11 votes for IE. Interesting, I guess this trend shows what I read about online from time to time that more and more people are switching to Firefox, or at least starting to use it from time to time.

    I use Firefox for the most part. I also have Suse 10.2 running in Parallels on my notebook, and on there I tend to use the Konqueror web browser.

    Heh I wish I could change my vote, I just switched my default browser on both my Mac's back to Safari. I still sometimes use Firefox but only when a page doesn't load or look quite right using Safari which is rare.

    I use IE7 because it starts up fast. I use to like Netscape better but in recent years it has become slow as molasses.

    I have both IE 6 & 7 installed on my computer, but I like IE 6 better. I guess because I'm familiar with it. At least on Windows you can use "Classic" settings, and its just like Win95.
