Add-ons
Actually, its the add-ons that keep me with FireFox. I prefer No-Script and Ad-Block to prevent the majority of attacks. I use IE-Tab and Fox-marks. Other than that, I occasionally add a few more plugins to handle a few technical jobs (depending on the system).

At the end of the day, until NoScript and Adblock are ported to other systems, I won't switch. happy

I do have other browsers install though. And occasionally use them.
