Well... I always use FF, just because I can use Download Status bar (very useful to monitor multiple downloads)... Is sad that IE has no extentions like this, or no one is interested on developing for this browser... Although, is my second option and very reliable (by now I'm with IE8, I don't like to test beta software that is critical for system stability).
BTW, just for a lil' statement, IE will always be faster than any other browser (at least on startup and some stuff) because is integarted with Windows, In other words, there are libraries and system files that are already loaded in memory when you boot into windows, then, IE can be loaded faster because part of its core is already loaded (the OS alredy uses that for explorer.exe functions)
I guess that, just by now, the challenge is still between IE and FF...
See ya!!!
