personally i use Firefox most of the time, occasionally i use the original dinosaur (mozilla) because it has the integrated email client, and also when i feel creative i use mozilla's built in WYSIWYG html editor...
and on other occasions when i want something different i use konqueror for some websites that have embedded video in popups like yahoo's news that work with mplayer/kmplayer/konqueror--- i think Internet multimedia such as news and music & video should quit the fancy embedding in to browsers. (realplayer/helix-player) broke as of 10.0.3 on websites that i visit. what websites should do is just let the URLs launch the video player launch externally and forget embedding in a browser and follow a standard for compatibility for ALL platforms...

I installed Firefox for a friend the other day on w2k, showed him ALL the functionality and cool bits. Later on I checked to see how he was doing and he was back using IE cursing the pop-ups. I suppose it takes a lot to convince some people.
with adblock, flashblock, gmail notifier, web developer, mouse gestures extensions... i feel crippled if i have to use any other browser on any system!
