Hi, Guest
IE is crap, really. The only thing it has going for it is easy plugin installation. However, that's "easy" in Joe Sixpack terms.
Once you're familiar with Firefox's Extensions system... you'll wonder why it's done any other way. It's just that simple. I use ForecastFox and the new version of Bookmarks Synchronizer for backing up all of my bookmarks to an XML sheet. Very handy.
Firefox wasn't the first browser with tabs, but by and large they were the first ones to get all the supporting functions right (reload this tab, reload all tabs, close this tab, close all other tabs is a hell of a powerful context menu for a single right-click).
Opera has been too far "out there" for quite some time. It's the "quiet riot" browser, and as long as they don't properly display some web pages correctly (it's also the only browser I've ever seen mangle Outlook Web Access badly)... I'll refuse to use it, nevermind recommend it to other folks.
There are a lot of reasons to not use MS stuff at home, but in the Enterprise, stuff like Exchange is king. And it just works. So there's no reason not to use it just because a fringe browser can't render the content correctly.
