IE is made by programmers too, it integrates with windows a lot, which is a great reason to use it, and the big downfall.
Some things just don't work on Firefox, or don't work as well. Some sites i visit have windows that open when you click a link, with no toolbars or butons just a navbar at top, and scrollers (if needed). Those windows when I try to close them claim to have other tabs running..... Very frustrating.
Firefox can be much faster if you use adblock though. You can set it up to not even Download the ads from ad servers etc, so you're not loading ads while you could be loading pix, or the rest of the page etc.

I think also what dblack is saying is there are more people working on it. Anyone can submit bug fixes, create their own plugins, etc.. [I do what I can for the Project, myself.. but I usually don't have the time these days]. And guys, Netscape is based on Mozilla code . Not to mention Netscape is a gone project. It is no longer developed, but I think you can still get the browser, but there will never be any updates. Mozilla, is here to stay, forever. There are too many people involved to let it die. I wouldn't use anything else.

i also heard google is designing their own browser......
google is going to take over the world....
