Mozilla Firefox
Inlander:
My major gripe with Firefox is the search function: it appears to only search a page for whole words, rather than fragments of a word. Ordinarily this would be fine, however when it comes to editing my website (which I do 4 times a week) it's a problem, as a "word" (i.e.: a series of letters without a space) is in that context an enormous long string of html. Firefox seems unable, in my limited experience, to search for just a fragment, such as "index.html", which makes it useless for my purposes.

That is strange. I don't believe I've ever experienced that. Perhaps it was fixed in an old version. <?>
McTaggart:
In my opinon the search function is perfect. Expecially the nifty little forward slash thing.

Firefox vs. Explorer[*]Tabbed browsing is awesome
[*]It's relatively new, so is not as targeted by evil programs & other kinds of geez
[*]Scroll button on the mouse is incorporated into the browsing for a more convenient experience, I guess you could say
[*]For some reason, GMail won't load in MSIE on my home computer[/list:u]Explorer vs. Firefox[*]Slightly faster (I thought Firefox was faster til I went back to using MSIE)
[*]Doesn't block as much of the simple Javascript (this could be good or bad, but it's good for my website in particular
[*]Cache is stored externally, so it doesn't clear when you upgrade the browser (more of an issue for dial-up folks as myself)[/list:u]This list is by no means comprehensive, but it's all I can come up with at the moment.
I used Firefox ever since it was released back in November '04, but I've recently switched back to MSIE (with the obvious exception for GMail), the main reason being that MSIE is overall the faster browser.
