I was a massive Firefox enthusiast since converting from IE, but when I downloaded version 4 I was very disappointed with the changes, to the extent that I uninstalled and reverted to v 3.17. I don't know whether Firefox 5 is any better - I'm nervous about going there!
I used to use firefox all the time after discovering you didn't have to use IE all the time! But it started crashing on my almost every hour, although I usually have a few tabs open at once. So I started using Google Chrome and never looked back, it's so much easier to use! And it very rarely has any hiccups. Although the newest version works fine but looks rather odd, so I might be a browser slut and change again haha.

Came across this earlier, apparently if you use Internet Explorer you have low IQ. Just as well I use Chrome then! :p
wow, the non-response bias on that study must have been immense. I use IE :$ but only cos my uni email doesn't work properly on the other browsers - it goes into 'security' mode and looks all funny and sometimes doesn't update properly

apparently that story about IE users was a hoax - see above
they must have put quite a bit of effort in as the BBC went to the effort of contacting a statistician from Cambridge
