Firefox is much more stable than IE so i think t's worth it.
You can also tweak it, along with tweaking the registry it's really fast for me.

I prefer old skool IE. I'm not sure why. I've been using it for so long it just kinda grew on me i guess.

It's not buggy at all on a stable pc. sure, firefo has more features but i can plugins for IE that do the exact same thing.
