I used to have that attitude but after using firefox for a few months i cant use IE.
Firefox has a lot of nice features, the main one bieng tabbed browsing. Useing tabs keeps yout taskbar from bieng cluttered and with a middle click of the mouse any link will open in a new tab. This is especially useful on forums and such because if you see a couple of threads you want to read you can load them up in a new tab then by the time you have finished reading one the rest are already loaded. Also the interface looks alot nicer than IE's and it has a built in box for searches, so you dont need the google toolbar.
Other things include popup blocking, the ability to block images from any location and you can do fancy things like increase/decrease text size on pages.
So just generally a nicer browser to use.
Hybrid Mode
