I was a FF user for a few years. Even in 3, however, I found it too slow. I switched to chrome. I wish chrome had a more flexible add-on system.

If Chrome had a flexible add-on system, it would be slow like FF3 Smilie

You can't have everything in a system. A race car is a shell and is fast, a luxury mercedes is slower than a race car, but has warm seats and nice pillows Smilie

FF3 is not designed to be a race car, it is designed to be FF3.

(well, you get the idea ... )

Internet explorer

I had used firefox but didnt find it really that interesting. May be i am unaware of a lot of functionalities and add ons... as far as tabbed browsing is concerned IE also provide the joy of it.. and it is most user friendly, thats what I feel. I voted for IE

Firefox

All the plugins make Firefox a no-brainer for me. The free and excellent Adblock makes pages load faster and really cuts out the noise of the internet.

Voted for firefox because of stability, performance, and those helpful little add-ons (bugzilla, fireshot, etc)
