In order of use for me,
1: Firefox
2: Midori
3: Seamonkey
4: SRWare Iron
5: Chromium
6: Chrome
7: k-meleon
8: Internet Explorer
I won't touch IE for anything but getting the Firefox installer. Then it sits there and does nothing.

Now I've heard of Midori and Chromium but why do you use so many browsers? I guess I have no right to say anything since I use three, but man. Eight is a lot.
I actually use Firefox the most followed by Chrome and finally Opera, but I did have to use IE in order to get Firefox. The only issue with IE is that it doesn't work at all now. It doesn't render the pages correctly, and I didn't do anything to it. Also, I can't get IE 9 since my OS is still XP, but I don't think that was a huge loss anyway.

Firefox. Seriously IE users, how can you stand a browser without spell check?

On my end, my current browser of choice is Waterfox, the 64-bit variant of Firefox. It works really well, and is completely compatible with all Firefox extensions and shares the same profile.

 

Internet Explorer might not be a need for home, but for most businesses, deployment of that browser is much better managed than Firefox. Anyone trying to configure Firefox for a silent installation with settings you want would quickly come to realize how much easier it is to take care of those bits with IE.

The reason for 8 browsers is dependent on the current OS I am running, If I am on windows the list will be shorter.  If installed Linux it's firefox and Midori. If windows it's firefox Chromium or Chrome depending on which I felt like installing. Chromium/Chrome are only used for netflix and what not where Firefox is used for normal browsing.  If it is a portable linux it's usually Puppy Linux so Seamonkey.  SRWare Iron I am currently playing with to see if it can be useful or not so that's cross platform.

 

So... Waterfox huh? *hits the old search engine* Last I heard the 64 bit firefox (official) was terribly unstable and out of date.

Chrome for general usage, then Firefox for development.  My overall order is: Chrome, Firefox, IE.  I only use Safari and Opera when I have to test things.

I've used a lot of different browsers over the years - in the days before Chrome, and even during the early releases of Chrome, Firefox always won hands down.

 

Nowadays, I wouldn't use anything but Chrome. However, the lack of a decent download manager or the ability to install one as an add-on, as well as my own curiosity, is probably going to force me to give Firefox a try again soon.

I used to use IE for long time because I didn't knew about the other browsers,but then I found Firefox became my favorite. But still Firefox sometimes is too slow and its got too many update so I started using Google chrome and so far is my top 1 choice.

I think Chrome can run faster than Firefox IMO anyway. Firefox seems to always crash for me :|

I'm not in the bandwagon section but after using Firefox and Chrome for couple of years, these are my personal experience from them.

Firefox - It's pretty decent since with Add-Ons and theme customization, it's like beginner-friendly unless you wanna get out from IE. When it comes to working on website-design, it's partially shabby because sometimes the layout that you designed didn't come out as expected in this browser. The bad days in using this little guy? I'd say, never run this guy if you're doing some heavy task in your system. This guy requires attention and oftentimes I can't argue how it helps me deal webpages with massive content. You folks should oughta try Thunderbird or Cometbird if you want a Firefox-based Browser (I think)

Google Chrome - Fair counterpart of Mozilla. This guy usually takes it sweet time to load up some pages. Chrome is lightweight but the chance of stuck or hang? Probably by a small margin but won't crash on certain scenarios. This was the browser I use to view my web-design. Of course, I could view my work in IE just for giggles and ideas. Hey, as far I saw in Chrome store were bunch of apps that could rival the Add-On Store in Mozilla Firefox, but not most of them are that handy. Wonder how to deal with these apps like that. There are some other web browsers based on Chromium and still trying like Torch (Google Chrome + in-built torrent system) and other else.

You can use Mozilla Firefox and Goggle Chrome it has incognito mode where your search history are not recorded, I would prefer it if you want to watch some rated X videos , lol just kidding ;)
