But you need to tell us why we should use Firefox? What are the advantages, risks, etc?
The advantages are you get away from 100% of the risks assocaited with interent explorer. Only "risk" is maybe 1% of webpages you'll visit might not work in firefox so you just use IE.

I still use adaware, but I haven't had ANY adware of spyware since switching.

Firefox for personal use and most business use. But I still use IE because some of the software development packages I use require IE.

IE all along, and have no problems with spyware or viruses.
I go everywhere I shouldn't go on the net, and the popup blocker and anti-spyware is constantly working in the background. Tried firefox but didn't like it.

I don't think it's the browser that causes your downfall, it's how you keep it updated.

It is the browser, IE is better but it's no longer faster than firefox.

Firefox is great, but the extensions make all the difference. I use the following:
All-in-One sidebar
Download Manager Tweak (to show downloads in tab)
Forecast fox
IE View
Scrapbook
SessionSaver
Tabbrowser Preferences
Ultrabar (greatest thing ever!!!)
