Mozilla Firefox
Tough I am definitely not a proponent of Microsoft, I have stuck with the Internet Explorer browser - until now that is. Finally, due to inherent security problems not properly addressed by Microsoft, and because of new and useful features in Mozilla Firefox, I have made the switch.
I was able to import my favorites from Internet Explorer and have quickly learned to take advantage of the improved features in Firefox. I like knowing that I am now using a browser designed by volunteers who are truly interested in making things work well for me, rather than one designed by a corporate behemoth who is always trying to figure new ways to use it to make money for itself while at the same time not being truthful to me about the ongoing security problems.
So far, I have not encountered any particular problems viewing web pages with Firefox, but I did note one problem with a page here at Sense. I noticed the Complete Topical Index that I created from the Google Blog template could not be viewed properly in Firefox, so I abandoned the complex template code and made a simplified version, which I am still keeping up-to-date, and which can be linked to from the Sense Home Page.

What can Firefox do that Netscape and Opera haven't been doing for some years now?
My personal answer to your question is that Firefox got enough good press to cause an amateur like me to happily and successfully switch from Internet Explorer. For a more profesional answer,here is a report from C/NET comparing various browsers.
Greetings from North Cack-A-Lacky! I enjoyed your thoughts, although I give Firefox even a little more credit than you do, I think ;) See what I mean here: internet explorer software
