Default I like FF because...

I like FF because IE still has issues with keepalives in SSL sessions. If you don't have to deal with SSL at all, then it doesn't make a lot of difference.

The latest MSN Toolbar update has fixed the memory issues for me. Resources now seem about equal.

Personally, I use FF for development, SEOpen is such an amazing resource for creating new pages. If I want to use IE, I have the "View in IE" extension. I don't ever having coding issues with either, other than early FF which didn't like font color tags without the #. I use IE5 quite a bit in Virtual PC for testing, but most development I do in FF.

I've done most of my posting in FF, and I do get the submit = preview on occasion, but it has to do with phpBB and a spam prevention setting from what I've noticed with my own phpBB install. If I go to a thread through an email link and post quickly, then do another the same way it previews. I've had the same issue with IE.

If IE had decent tabs (crazybrowser is pretty good, but not totally customizeable like FF and doesn't have the other extensions I like), it'd get more use by me.
