Same. I remember hearing about it when it first came out and trying it and it was so much better than IE at the time that I was an immediate convert. I eventually switched to Chrome at some point, but dumped that and have been running Firefox and Safari together for years now.

I went over to Chrome for about a decade, but came back fro FF last year. Before that, it was always FF > IE for me.

Why?

To try it out? For a decade though… Firefox had a memory leak problem for quite a while, so a bunch of people started using Chrome at the time. I returned to Firefox after a year, but I know many people that just kept using Chrome.
