Yeah~
I went to Firefox, current version, I keep everything up to date. I must say IE8 is faster, no doubt. I used IE8 for about a month, just couldn't get into it, but did love the speed. I like FF as I can do a lot of stuff with it is all. I can deal with FF being slower. IE8 is really not better than IE7 IMHO, but that's just me. IE7 was nice and simple, so is FF once I had it running for a few weeks.
I guess it's really a matter of personal preference, one thing which is probably boring to most is with FF I can chamge the LOOK if it anytime I want with PERSONAS

Plus I have the Weather in the bottom window, real tiny, which I love, as I can tell what kinda weather I'll be having all week, but then again, I could just watch the TUBE and figure that out, they don't cover my little town though.
You want speed go with IE8, if yu want full on customization, go FF, that's my advice.
