I'm also a firefox user,I like firefox for a lot of reason. One is, Firefox features the all-too-familiar tabbed browsing feature. No more opening multiple browser windows, eating up your precious RAM and slowing down everything on your computer. While a more recent Explorer version can provide the same feature, Firefox pioneered the idea and there is a definite difference in feel when using tabs in Firefox as opposed to Explorer.
Also a very important topic amongst those interested in browsers is that of security. Most studies show Firefox as marginally better in this field as well even though Internet Explorer had years of a head start. This has been partially associated with the way in which Explorer is tied into the operating system while Firefox is a completely independent application.
Add-ons are a popular browser feature that enables enhancements to be made to browser by users. Well Firefox does anyway. Internet Explorer is notoriously hard to code add-ons for while Mozilla even provides help in doing so on their website. They welcome users who add functionality to the browser and a much wider range of applications are available, doing everything from music playing to game downloads.
Finally, a feature of Firefox exists that is not really a part of the browser on a whole, but is rather a modified version made by users called Firefox Portable. This application allows you to take your browser, along with its history and bookmarks, with you everywhere on a USB Flash Drive.

I have both firefox and IE8. I have to say, that as of now, I like firefox better. But then i must remember, IE8 is only in the beta trails. And considering the fact that firefox released their browser already, microsoft can now take of their features, revamp them, and make them even better. So in the long run, IE8 is going to be better. Opera, is not a good web browser at all in my opinion.

Firefox is the best I ever used. But I still windows explorer as certain sites may not be compatible with Firefox. I used Opera before too and I like it because of the tabbed browsing features which was not available to IE in the past.

I tend to use Firefox, simply because I'm most comfortable with it and it seems to block more popups than IE tends to. However, when I'm at work or on another computer, I don't mind using IE. In fact, sometimes I have to use it for certain downloads or going to certain websites!
