If you folks have not checked it out (and this coming from an IE only developer), Firefox really deserves a good long look.

Among it's greatest features:
(1) DOM Inspector -- helps you find that pesky table cell that's causing you problems
(2) Javascript console -- client side debugger built right into the browser
(3) Tabbed browsing -- what a concept
(4) Highlight and view only the source code for the HTML you highlighted - You gotta be kidding me!
(5) Popup blocker and Google baked right into the browser shell... no plugins necessary.

It also has hooks for you to program your own add-ons if you're so inclined.

The list goes on. It's flat out awesome. Free, of course, and most web pages render just fine in it, although you'll still need to keep IE handy for the occasional IE-DHTML-heavy site.

Great, just when I thought nutscrape was dead - now we have write cross-browser compatible web pages again...
</sarcasm>;-)

Seriously, though - it does look nice. One thing I noticed was that the ASP.NET client-side validation did not work (I guess it thinks it's a down-level browser) but maybe they'll get that working for 1.0.
