I've been using firefox since its inception, before they changed the name. I'm working up a case against using IE company wide at the moment. Tabbed browsing is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I wrote my own browser using the IE DLL's that allowed tabbed browsing and had a built in popup block as well as a bunch of other stuff, but this code is much better in terms of security so I dumped my IE hack and started using this and like it much better. It gets even better with each revision that comes out..
