I'm a Mac user that has changed her default browser to Firefox--it's a
lot more customizable.

I actually have 4 browsers installed and use them all at different
times. Most of the time I use Firefox. I use Netscape Communicator
when I want to play around with creating a web page--it's the only
"composer" I can afford. And I use Internet Explorer for those few
pages (my bank's being one of them) that won't open properly in
ANYTHING else. Safari is just my back up when Firefox is being a pain.
