+1, I have been using Firefox for over a year now and just won't go back to
IE. On the (very few) occasions where something on a site doesn't work so
well in FF, I have the "View this page in IE" extension installed.
Right-click, View this page, problem solved (then close IE).

I also only use IE to verify design.

Ever since Raymond Camden mentioned how good Firefox was I've been using it
almost exclusively and see no compelling reason to use IE except to verify
site design.

  "Paul has reported some vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer, allowing
malicious
  people to bypass security restrictions and potentially compromise a
vulnerable
  system.

  1) It is possible to redirect a function to another function with the same
name,
  which allows a malicious website to access the function without the normal
  security restrictions.

  Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary script code in the
context
  of another website. This could potentially allow execution of arbitrary
code in
  other security zones too.

  2) Malicious sites can trick users into performing actions like
drag'n'drop or
  click on a resource without their knowledge. An example has been provided,
which
  allows sites to add links to "Favorites". However, resources need not be
links
  and the destination could be different than "Favorites"."

  The solution? :

  "Solution:
  Disable Active Scripting.

  Use another product."
