Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer?
Jeez, if tabs were the only issue… Mozilla based browsers always seem more forgiving with most webpages, and they load them better. IE seems to have this stupid thing about getting all the content it can before it deigns to display the page for you. Which is SUCH a bad idea when a page is made up of different elements sourced from all over the place…
I prefer SeaMonkey to Firefox though. It's based on the look and functionality of Mozilla's original flagship project before popular little FF took the limelight. It uses much the same engine as FF, but you have more control…
FF is the version made to appeal to IE users.
I've used Firefox for a few years, so that's what I use because I am used to it. Bad IE stuff back in the day forced me to switch over. I don't think it's preference as much as just habit/comfort. The updated version of pretty much any browser has the same features these days, so it's just a matter of what one is used to using.
It can make a difference when you're coding, though. Some browsers display things differently and are more sensitive to html and java errors. If you're actually doing coding, it helps to have a more "sensitive" browser to at least test things on.

Opera, anyone?
the only thing that I don't like about firefox is that it has an oldish look to it while IE looks cool and sleek. Mozilla loads faster though.That's because the basic look of FF was made to appeal to IE6 users. But it's got about a bazillion skins to make it look better ;)
I've used Firefox since the day I finally ventured out of my shell and got online (which was only a year or two ago). It's more secure, it's faster, and it has near-infinite plug-ins and skins to make it really mine.
I use the Morning Coffee plug-in to open all my webcomics at once, without having to go through the pain in the butt of using bookmarks; I use Cooliris, which is possibly the best freaking plug-in ever, so that I rarely have to click anything if I don't want to open a whole new page; and I use Adblock Plus to improve my browsing experience. Along with the Walnut theme because I'm old-fashioned.
With Firefox, life is good.
