"Solid and secure, works almost everywhere"
Pros: More secure than IE, great UI
Cons: A very few sites still require IE
Summary: Firefox is the first real alternative to IE. I use it as my primary browser and it works flawlessly on 99% of web sites I visit.
I switched from IE because of security concerns - either I locked IE down so tight it didn't work on many web sites, or I left the door wide open for malware. Firefox manages to be secure without losing all its functionality.
The tabbed browsing feature is great. So is the built-in download manager. But you can make both of those (and a lot else) even better by installing some of the numerous extensions available on the Firefox web site.
Contrary to what the review below says, you can view PDF just fine in this browser.
