I love Firefox but recently its getting worse since 1.5.0.4...a lot more crashes and sometimes pages show up as code...getting really really annoying! But still destroys IE...anyone try IE7 yet? I hear it actually isn't too bad.
From a web designer's standpoint.. Firefox is still the bar to aim for when testing out your sites... IE7 is still not there when it comes to supported code... but again, that's just for designers. ^_^

Learn strict DOCTYPE's and there are no problems with IE. Main problem with IE is that it defaults to quirks mode rather than standards mode (weird, I know). If you explicitly set the standards mode when designing pages you will have nothing that's not compliant.

it has wayyyyyyyyyy too many bugs... i have it on a comp i have with vista beta 2... and it just plain sux right now... we shall c what microsoft can do in 6 months.. and it better b good.
msie6 is so fully of non standard behaviour that microsoft gave up on backwards compatability when they made the rendering engine for ie7. That's why they gave out warnings several months ago that everyone should prepare for 7 not rendering pages the same way 6 did.

I heard that some of the newest beta does pretty well against the others, but for the advanced CSS developer there are still a lot of things it doesn't support. Oh well.

Yet more evidence that Microscum is the worst thing that ever happened to the software world.

AS long as IE holds the market share, you code for IE not Firefox.

I just really don't understand. Use a strict DOCTYPE. IE and FF will render just about everything the same. The main culprit that pisses everyone off in IE is the box model which isn't an issue if you use strict HTML 4.01.
I am using IE7 now. From what I've seen the 3 or 4 minor non-compliant things in standards mode IE6 are fixed in IE7. There's probably legacy support for quirks mode in IE7 which means improperly coded webpages will still look funny in FF from time to time because they are written and tested in IE.
The program itself has a different feel to it, but you get used to it. The tabbed browsing is nice for forum surfing especially. This beta appears to be very close to release-ready.
I have been using both Firefox and IE7 but I have had alot of problems with IE7 like I can't get any pictures to show up or anything like that. Other than that it was good. Firefox is ok I guess no problems with it at all.
Oh well.
