Firefox all the time except websites that only work with IE.
I like firefox particularly because I don't have to type in the usernames and passwords that I saved. I need to at least type in the username in IE before the it actually fills in the password for me. This gets annoying during the day I just want to surf the net, login to several accounts and check my credit card balance. With firefox, I can just sit back, relax, and not putting my fingers on the keyboard.

Internet Explorer and Opera.
I've never really been much of a Firefox fanboy, especially running dual monitors. Maybe when they program that thing to remember which monitor it's in then I'll take another look.Former Webhost... now, just a guy.

PHP Code:<?
$browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
if(preg_match("/MSIE ([0-7])/i",$browser))//browser is IE (includes version number)
{
header('location: [url]http://www.w3junkies.com/too_cool.php[/url]');
}
else
{
include('inc/head.inc');
include('inc/top.inc');

Have been using Mozilla Browser since 3 years ago.
IE and Opera will only be used to test website's browser compatibility issue.

Firefox (and thunderbird for e-mail). Internet explorer is still there to be used when I have to, but I can't live without tabbed browsing anymore.

Internet Explorer because I don't need to use FireFox to keep myself from getting spyware or exploited. I know how to use the internet properly, and I find it ridiculous when my friends say "IE will g3t j00 h4x0red" "it h4s 3xpl0its!". OK. When I come across a reason significant enough to cause me to stop using IE, I'll go to FireFox. Until then, Internet Explorer is great. (when used properly)

IE doesn't fully support CSS. There's a better reason for ditching it :p

Thanks for your responses and voting in the poll! Firefox is a clear winner!- Yash Rungta

I use IE most of the time because I access a lot of corporate websites that require it. However If I am surfing anywhere that is suspect I will generally use Firefox.

Firefox 99% of the time. Well, technically, Deer Park. When a page doesn't load, or I need to paste something into an excel spreadsheet, i'll right click, "View This Page in Internet Explorer" (I.E. View extension). That's the only time I'll use IE.
