I still use firefox as well for my primary browser. I have grown used to it and am quite fond of it so far.
When IE7 comes to full release I will use them both as I have several work related sites that just don't fare well , if at all under firefox.

I do too as I've become rather accustomed to is over the last couple of years, but the IE7 beta 3 is a marked improvement over IE6 in all facets and I well imagine the full release will give other browsers quite a shake in the popularity stakes, given MS' response to concerns over security, tabbed browsing, etc.
Have you tried using the IE rendering engine in Firefox? I registered some software and the website didn't like Firefox too much, but switching to the IE view resolved that issue. Don't know if it works for all problem sites in Firefox, though.....

The extension is called IE Tab, you can get it here: http://ietab.mozdev.org/
I've had no problems with it have even done the whole MS Update thing using it.

Oops, forgot to mention that....I even did the 'validation' thing using IE Tab in FF, and I can also surf, download from the MS site without problems...sure is a handy tool.

Hmmm, after several unexpected reboots while browsing, I've gone back to IE6

Much better than Beta 2. Looks nicer too. I've noticed that it is a little faster.

IE7 Beta 3 works much faster for me than Beta 2. However I still don't like it overall compared to Firefox. I just can't stand the location of the navigation buttons. Its a good improvement, just too wacky for every day use.

It looks very good but it won't install in my computer and my computer is a Windows XP Media Center 2005...

Using IE7-B3 now and i gotta tell ya major improvement over 6 
And i am also running FF 1.5 and IE7 definately loads up faster than FF and page loads are faster and smoother too 
I think by the time this hit's final release the comp. will be in trouble IMHO
