I use FireFox because it works better than IE (even with SP2). It's safer, more secure, and a hell of a lot faster. Plus it's developer friendly, unlike IE, you can't get away with sloppy coding. So if you know it looks good in FF, then it looks great in IE. It also handles valid coding and CSS a lot better.

I use Firefox exclusively at home and as my preferred browser at work.
Some sites at work require IE, unfortunately....

I use Firefox almost exclusively (although I do have Opera registered and really like it as well) and the only time I ever use IE is for Windows Update.

Have just voted for the browser I use - the problem is I use a number of different browsers to ensure that the code I write works OK in each. Yes, I use IE, Opera, Mozilla - even Netscape 4.7!!! - for testing purposes. I would have thought that most web developers would also test their work in many different browsers. So selecting just one is a bit .... they all have good points and bad points.
What would be nice in HTML Editor 2005 is the ability to test directly from within the editor say half a dozen different browsers instead of the two you're limited to at present (shouldn't be that difficult). Indeed, the terminology in the editor of Favourite Browser and Default Browser is a bit odd. I would normally set my favourite to be default!

Privately and in my own development I use mostly IE (6.0) because most of my audience uses that one. Then I use Netscape 7.1 as a corrective. However I use Netscape for mail so about alle pages opened from a mail is with N 7.1. In addition I have Opera installed and occationly I use Lotus Notes (at work).
As a web editor for a local organisation I have to use IE as they have a publishing system requiring IE they say.
I want to upgrade my Opera and I also want to try out FireFox when I get time to do just that. www.nkmoller.com

I agree. I would love to see at least three (or four) browsers to test with. I test in IE (since most people still use it) and Firefox (my favorite), but I'd really love to test in Opera too since I use that one quite often also. The three each use a different rendering engine so it'd be nice to test in at least three browsers.

I use FireFox almost exclusively because 1) It's much more secure than IE, and 2) Because it plays nice with 95% of the code I write. The only reason I've kept IE around is for testing purposes, and at the moment it is giving me a fit (I am an extreme HTML novice though) with an embedded object (and its an MS Media Player object at that!).
I have never dealt with Opera. I do like Netscape and Mozilla. But I just cant get past FF's tabbed browsing, easy privacy managemaent, and its look too!

Firefox here, both at work and home.
IE only when a site doesn't operate or display effectively in FF. Plans to Prosper
