Mozilla Firefox is definitely one of the best pieces of software and it is in my all time top 5. The question is Why?
I'll try to answer this question in comparison with Opera and Internet Explorer.
Firefox is equipped only with essential stuff and everything more than essential is available through Firefox Add-ons. And there are very large amount of add-ons with which you may turn your Firefox into the most powerful browser. I am currently using 10 of these, such as Linkification, FlashGot, Download Statusbar...
Opera comes with lots of options, such as mail client, torrent manager etc., but IMO Firefox Add-ons make Firefox better solution. On the other hand, Opera seems to be faster in browsing pages from history.
Internet Explorer is much improved in version 7 but it is still worse solution than previous browsers. IE is some 2-3 years late in tabbed browsing and it is the most vulnerable browser. Despite everything it is still the most used browser (bundled in Windows) but the percentage of users using alternate browsers is constantly rising.
