@J. Lion
I would stick with firefox because overall it seems to be the best browser. The next in line I would say is Opera, but firefox just released and update so no worries. In my opinion I would stick with firefox no matter what.

You also might want to check out Stompy http://www.darknet.org.uk/2007/03/stompy-the-web-application-session-analyzer-tool/

for some superb session analysis (and cookie munging)

Take a look at Cookie Edit or Add N Edit Cookies. You might also consider LiveHTTPHeaders if you want to get some realtime info on incoming header/file info

You’se right.

When comparing this to all of IE’s bugs I think of this as no big deal. And like Pantagruel said, welcome to the wonderful, yet buggy/vulnerable world of windows ;).

As for firefox addons what is everyone using?
I currently use:
Fasterfox
Ad Block Plus
Tamper Data
and Download status bar
