Safari crashes a lot, and Internet Explorer is a scourge on web developers. The fact that's it's >3x faster on just about everything is simply a bonus.
Why is Firefox so great?

Firefox is a lot more secure and safer to use than Internet Explorer. Research it a little

Also, Firefox is so much easier to use that internet explorer. Better add ons. I really dislike using internet explorer, is so basic.

To be honest, I don't really care what browser you use, just as long as it isn't IE, for the above reason.

The ones that are alive.
Anywho.
In general the speed between them is about the same. Yeah, if you run some synthetic benchmarks it's going to come out as faster. But that's usually for formats you ever encounter online anyhow.
It's just like synthetic benchmarks for anything else.
Personal preference of course. I use Firefox only because I'm most familiar with the layout. Only reason I don't care for IE is because the placement of the 'stop' button is stupid. Opera was fine. Safari...I don't think I've touched in years because every Mac I've used has always had Firefox on it too.
Honestly if you're happy with Safari there is really no reason to switch to any thing else. But at least it's free, so I mean you could always just try stuff out for a week and switch back if you don't like it.

I can tell it is a lot faster, especially it's ability to preload stuff. The App of Fasterfox is great! Also, you can modify the pipe lining and data transfer to get even faster speeds. It's interesting that my modded internet is a noticeable difference faster than the rest of the guys on my floor

I used to use Firefox. It's great. As a lot of people here said, it is MUCH faster than IE. Although, my new favorite is Google Chrome. It is still in BETA (Version 0.3), so there are bugs, but I don't know, there's something about that incognito mode that is just so hard to resist, if you catch my drift
