FF3 is def the best, but I stick to IE becuase it comes FREE with XP and since I bought the damn thing, I might as well use it.
I never really have issues with IE.
But I use FF at work and enjoy it

But surely if you enjoy Firefox more than IE then you should use it!

The only issue I have with FF are those god damn memory leaks. Has it been sorted out in FF3?
I think so, mostly anyway.

Firefox 3 ROCKS! Been using it since beta 4. Very, very fast and very stable (has never crashed on me in Vista).
Firefox + Adblock Plus add-on = pure browsing bliss.
UPDATE: Help set a Guinness World Record by downloading Firefox 3 on release day... http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord

I have used 3 on Windows and Linux and it seems to use a lot less memory. I use Google Docs, Gmail and Reader at the same time in different tabs and it uses a lot less memory than IE. Also seems to clean up memory quicker...

You mean you're too lazy to install FF! FF costs as much as IE - IE is the inferior freebee... why would people use FF otherwise?
lol... I use FF because of these:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
You have to love the add-ons... there is so so much to do...
IE is my occasional browser... I use it for the lame sites that don't work with FF
I believe the memory leaks are sorted out and it's faster!

with me its a bit tricky...i use FF for everything,but for www.Microsoft.com i use ie8...strange,and for low bandwidth i use opera cause its cache is wondeeeful
I want it too! I want it too! 
My Firefox uses around 50MB of RAM and I rarely have an issue with memory leaks. I hope they used Valgrind* before saying the memory leaks have been cleared up.

It's very much quicker and its memory usage is much, much better. They still haven't fixed the resume download issue, though. If you can, never use it for downloads and rather a download manager (the same goes for IE). FF of course is infinitely tweakable and the add ons are a major plus - unlike IE. I must say that so far I like FF3 a lot.
