Firefox mainly. Sometimes I use IE, and when I'm on my PSP I use NetFront.

Firefox for me. I don't like IE much for obvious reasons, although after they stole the tabbed browsing concept it got a little better to use. Opera is an OK browser, but their adware turned me off in about the year 2000 and I don't see a reason to try it out again.

Flock looks like an interesting browser though, social media is much more integrated into the whole thing. If anyone has tried it, I would be interested to read what you thought.

How fast is your processor? Firefox uses more processor on slower machines, but on my Quad Core gaming computer, it's actually faster than IE and Safari and uses less CPU.

As for the FiOS, if you have software that uses the internet, that might be causing the problem. I've also found that some software like Google Desktop likes to mess with FiOS and slow it down oddly enough. I've had to fix a problem like that before, and simply uninstalling Google's software sped it right up. As for the speed, go to www.dslreports.com, run a Tweak Test and see what it says. Their site is very useful for that kind of stuff.

Firefox is the best, but I need to use Ie to make sure that my site runs fine.

Kind of odd that it'd be slow with that processor speed, unless something is loading down the CPU. I have a 2.4GHz Quad Core from Intel (9.6GHz total power) and it's flying on a 7.1Mbps/768kbps DSL connection from Verizon. You might want to see what DSL Reports has to say about your connection, as their tools should get you up to speed. I'm awaiting FiOS to come this summer for more speed.

I've heard Firefox 3 has less memory usage than previous versions. Something I look forward to.

I.E. Because if I changed to Firefox my parents would freak out.

(They barely even know how to use a PC.)

Haha. There's only one problem wrong with FireFox, it has a memory leak.

I use Firefox, but I haven't moved on to the beta yet. Nor will I, since I'll probably wait until it's official release... unless they suddenly decide to do a 5th freaking beta.

I have Opera, Internet Explorer, and Safari installed on my computer as well, though, to view websites in different renders to make sure they don't explode or anything (usually IE's fault).
