When it comes to web browsers myself and almost everyone here at Solid Cactus use Mozilla Firefox. Honestly it is just the best browser out there from a technical and usability standpoint. The average user may also be surprised how many issues that sites experience in IE are non-existent in FF.
However you may come across a couple sites that only open up in Internet Explorer. A good example of that would be OrderMotion which is used constantly by the reps down here in the call center and will not open up in Firefox. Another would be Outlook Webmail which only works with limited functionality in Firefox. One of the greatest things about Firefox are addons which add additional functionality to Firefox. There is a particular addon called IE Tab which actually allows you to open up Internet Explorer in Firefox. So if you only use Firefox this is definitely the add on for you because now you can do everything in one browser.
You can read more about IE Tab and also install it from here:
