    I always use firefox

    Only 2 problems with it as far as I can see

    1. Slow to startup, not sure how it compares to IE though.
    2. Some animated web pages (mostly adverts etc) can make firefox gobble up all your CPU time.

    As Brush says

    I also nearly always use firefox - just occasionally come across sites that dont work properly so then switch to IE7

    Only real issue is the CPU time one - easy to fix by killing the offending tab. Its a pain at times though dont know if IE or other browsers have the same issue
