Why do we love Firefox ? Why do we hate IE ?

So, after my last survey regarding the most favourite internet browser i decided to ask people : Why do they love Firefox so much ? And why do they hate Internet Explorer ?
Well, what do you say ?

I hate virtually everything Microsoft does, not just because they're MS, but because they seem to go out of their way to make sure there's a last 'x' amount of features that you can't use unless you're using MS product to do so. It gets even worse with IE because they gave it too much control over the shell (can you say it basically is the shell in certain versions? Yes you can.) which has allowed for many vulnerabilities. IE7 shored up a lot of problems, but I still chose safari or firefox whenever I'm on Windows.

Yes, I would also like to know why you love Firefox, as I like to use whatever is best. I am using Opera but I don't really have much personal experience with Firefox.

As a web designer you really get to know the big differences between the browsers. I won't get into them, but when rendering a web page Firefox follows the rules and Internet Explorer does not. Sometimes it can be a huge pain to make things look the same in both.

I see ....... well practically i love Firefox because of it´s compatibility with Vista and also the add-ons.
I hate IE because of it´s incompetence.

This screenshot pretty much covers why. Not just ADBP, but all of that. I just happened to have it highlighted.

eh idk i guess im just lazy but prolly the one reason i dont use firefox is that you have to right click(or go in a drop down menu) to open a new tab. if there are other ways i didnt find it. considering what i use ie for fire fox really isnt any better for me.

Yeah I use Ctrl + T. And you can double click on the empty space to the right of a tab to open a new one.

You have empty space on your tab bar?! My tab bar is always full, even on 1680x1050 res.

Crazy people ..... Opera is okay ... i think that Firefox and Opera are competing each other pretty well.

"As of February 2008, usage data gives Opera's overall global share of the browser market as being about 1%"

Damn, that's a lot of Fakku tabs, now to get back on topic, I like Firefox mostly for the add-ons and the themes, but also because a while back, (for some stupid reason) my Javascript was corrupted and firefox was the only browser that would work properly. Needless to say, I haven't used IE since.

One very impt gauge of whether a web browser is good is in its security; IE's security is one of the worst amongst browsers thet runs on Windows.
Firefox is open source, they fix their bugs and security loop(if they can) holes within 24 hours and RELEASES IT after it is known, that is one of the reasons why it's the most popular browser amongst the more IT knowledgeable people.
BTW I'm running Firefox 3 Release Candidate 2, and my secondary browser is Safari 3.1.1 for Windows. I use IE6 to check compatibility of my web pages on it, cuz IE6 & 7 still has majority of users using it.

IE7 loads slow as hell when it doesn't even have any addons. It also happens to lack of the middle click function (opens new tab w/o changing current tab), which I can't live without.

Firefox >>>>>>> IE because....
security: Firefox is safer because they can detect (well, mostly but not all) hidden software that are downloaded to my pc unlike IE that act like nothing happened.
theme/GUI: Firefox is easier to browse and to use it and it doesnt load up slowly instead of IE where i have to wait like a minute.
Oh yeah, another reason i stick to Firefox because it's little sister, the Lolifox browser lololololol.
