I like Firefox because it is a fast browser.

I like Opera because it can scale pages including the images.

Yeah while it is 100% compliant to the official web standards. The web is not that friendly to Opera. Myspace and youtube for example give lots of trouble with Opera.

Out of IE and Firefox, definitely Firefox. Two reasons, I'm on Linux, secondly IE is Microsoft.

I've tried opera before, it's a decent browser. At the moment I prefer Firefox.

I used Firefox, but I went to Safari and haven't returned.

Firefox. I been using mozilla for as long as i can remember, then firefox came out. at first i didnt like it and kept w/ mozilla, but then they took mozilla right off the site and its just firefox. but now firefox has like 90% of everything mozilla had. i dont understand why firefox is so popular? its just a simplified, more like ie, less good version of mozilla.

I've used Firefox for a long time. IE annoys me though I still have to use it for certain things.

Firefox. It can sometimes be a bit of a pig memory-wise, but it's fast, it's customizable, and it's reasonably secure. Browsing any untrusted web site with MSIE is like dropping your pants on Mission Street in San Francisco and bending over to grab your ankles, with a sign hung on your ass saying "OH YEAH, DO ME NOW, BABY, MAKE IT ROUGH, I LOVE IT WHEN IT HURTS."

Firefox ... it's the Tabs, I love 'em

Firefox because of tabs, and the little search box and other things I can't remember. Also the new Internet Explorer is ugly.

That's pretty much why I used Firefox, that and the extention feature which is way the hell more secure than ActiveX. Firefox doesn't work quite like I want it to in OSX. It's great in Windows and Linux but it sucks in OSX.

Right now I am using Maxthon because Firefox is taking up too much memory.

I use Firefox, because it is much more secure than IE. You get much less popup adverts. Also, it's customizable very much with extensions and all that. And I can preview XUL files on it.
