If you use it, why do you use firefox?

Addons, addons, addons!

At the moment, I've also got Chrome and Opera installed. (Which leaves only Trident-based browsers, which I can't install without ugly hacks.)

Strangely enough, my experience with Firefox has been very hit-or-miss. On my desktop at home (Ubuntu 10.04) and at work (Windows XP) it works great. On my laptop (Windows 7) it's every bit at bad as IE is. (Slow, freezes randomly, crashes, etc.) Actually, I think IE8 performs a bit better on my Laptop. (Not that I use it. I still need my extensions...)

I use it for aesthetic reasons; I love having a browser that actually fits the dark theme I have for my window border. I'm fond of dark color schemes. It preserves my night vision for those late-night surfing bouts.

I use it because it's the pinnacle of open-source technology
Or something.

Because Firefox 1.5 was teh shit, and so much better than IE6.

Sadly, it seems like each newer incarnation of Firefox gets more and more mediocre and innovative somehow.

Both security and add-on functionality.

I use it because its pretty. Is that a good enough reason? It makes me happy that the icon has a fox on it, and it gets to be on my desktop
