So which one would it be? If you use firefox, do you install any of the extentions and themes?

Aren't the 'good things that come to those who wait' just the leftovers from the people that got there first?

I use both (and also have Netscape 4.7, Netscape 8.1 and Opera installed). I use IE and Firefox simultaneously with IE being my primary browser and Firefox open to three forums I frequent. I have about a dozen extensions installed.

I use Firefox almost exclusively. Most of my browsing is to forums, such as this one and the tabbed browsing feature is great for this. I also like the way you can customize the program. I have several extensions installed.

I use Firefox most of the time but prefer netscape 8.0.5 because of having both the mozilla and IE engines. I can set up 1 tab for the IE engine and the rest for mozilla. I only needed IE for 1 site which I no longer need which is why I use Firefox the most now. Firefox also has a clear tracks on exit which I can choose what I want cleared that netscape doesnt offer. Really dont care for advant or opera.

I use IE exclusively. I guess I should check out the others. I don't know why I haven't.
Edit: I've been playing with Firefox for the last hour. it is realy easy to use. I haven't changed skins yet. I like the way everything is right under tools option. very convenient. hmm.. spellcheck dosen't work here at tweaks now? I know I saw a post addressing this issue.

I use Firefox exclusively. No need for IE at all any more (except for WU, obviously).

I have it tweaked and tuned to perfection, now that the memory leak issues have been fixed, along with the following extensions:

1. ChromEdit - used to easily access the config files.
2. Save Image in Folder - extremely convenient way to save images.
3. Googlebar Lite - self explanatory.
4. AI Roboform plugin - for auto-filling forms and passwords.
5. Menu Editor - allows editing/removal of all context menu items.
6. Compact Menu - removes unnecessary menu bar items.
7. Adblock Plus - also, self explanatory.
8. IE View - just in case

I also use a theme called Mostly Crystal, which fits so well with the XP visual style I use (Luna Element).

I use Firefox all the time, for ths past 2 years. It's faster, safer and easier to configure. Why would anybody want IE? I stopped using it because of all the security issues and you have to admit it takes up a lot of real estate on a harddrive.
I'm looking forward to the next release of Firefox! My hats off to all of those devoted to making Firefox what it is today!

FireFox user here. I like the tab features of FireFox & its much faster to load compare to IE. (use only when need to visit the Windows Update site.)
