I love my firefox with the sweet megaupload and rapidshare plug-ins, my Fukken saved plug-in (thank you Steely! <3 ) all my sweet blockers in it. But it sometimes acts weird... but I think it's my because of I messed up my faildozeXP with the Gears Of Bugs and the beta drivers that came with it...  :-[

NiTRoX

I use Firefox and Konqueror on linux and Opera on Windows.

Rocinante

I still like Firefox.. maybe because I restart it every morning, I don't see a lot of the problems others say it has.  Or I'm just used to them and don't care :>

As you can read in Paradox's introduction, I use the best internet browser there is available. It might not have the benefits of being open-source, but on the other hand, if the best browser is closed-source, I have no benefit from it being open-source.

And what exactly are minuets?

Quote from: Wikipedia
A minuet, sometimes spelled menuet, is a social dance of French origin for two persons, usually in 3/4 time. The word was adapted, under the influence of the Italian minuetto, from the French menuet, meaning small, pretty, delicate, a diminutive of menu, from the Latin minutus; menuetto is a word that occurs only on musical scores. The word refers probably to the short steps, pas menus, taken in the dance. At the period when it was most fashionable it was slow, ceremonious, and graceful.

The name is also given to a musical composition written in the same time and rhythm, but when not accompanying an actual dance the pace was quicker. Stylistically refined minuets, outside of the social dance context, were introduced — to opera at first — by Jean-Baptiste Lully, and in the late 17th century the minuet was adopted into the suite, such as some of the suites of Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Händel. As the other dances that made up a Baroque suite dropped out of use, the minuet retained its popularity. Among Italian composers, the minuet was often considerably quicker and livelier, and was sometimes written in 3/8 or 6/8 time. A minuet was often used as the final movement in an Italian overture. Initially, before its adoption in context outside of social dance, the minuet was usually in binary form, with two sections of usually eight bars each, but the second section eventually expanded, resulting in a kind of ternary form. On a larger scale, two such minuets were often combined, so that the first minuet was followed by a second one, and finally by a repetition of the first. The second (or middle) minuet usually provided some form of contrast, by means of different key and orchestration. Around Lully's time, it became a common practice to score this section for a trio (such as two oboes and a bassoon, as is common in Lully). As a result, this middle section came to be called trio, even when no trace of such an orchestration remains.

The minuet and trio eventually became the standard third movement in the four-movement classical symphony, Johann Stamitz being the first to employ it thus with regularity. A livelier form of the minuet later developed into the scherzo (which was generally also coupled with a trio). This term came into existence approximately from Beethoven onwards, but the form itself can be traced back to Haydn.

An example of the true form of the minuet is to be found in Don Giovanni. One particularly famous minuet has been written by Luigi Boccherini.

The minuet also remained in some countries as elements in folk dance, such as in Finland and parts of Sweden. The minuet is also a stately court dance of the 17th and 18th centuries.

Lol, ok.  This is off-topic anyways.... xD

I use Firefox as my primary browser, FF3 Beta 5 is really rather good, Epiphany when i need something lighter and, for no reason other than it's interesting to have around, HV3, a browser written in TCL+TK

It's surprisingly good, even has tabbed browsing and a sidebar.

I used to use Opera quite a while ago, it certainly beat netpositive, but haven't really used it in recent years.
Almost forgot, I always keep links around

Safari, mainly because:
A) I'm too lazy to switch my habits
B) I'm a mac fan-boy
C) It is actually a pretty good browser, has its quirks
D) Not sure about the whole "Firefox Vs Opera Vs <Insert other free browser here>" thing.
E) All of the above
F) None of the above
G) One of the other ten possible combinations of A, B, C, and D
