The biggest reason I love Firefox is the plugins.

The LJ-login plugin lives quietly at the bottom corner of your screen and lets you log in and out with a click!

Since I work in a huge concrete bunker the size of a city block with no external windows, the weather forecast plugin is a lifesaver (or at least a hairsaver) for when it's going to be raining/snowing when I get out.

Then there's NoScript and AdBlock for making sure bad stuff doesn't get onto your computer, and WebOfTrust to make sure sites are legit and not virus-infected.

Since I do a lot of web work, I've got a web developer plugin, and since I speak Japanese reasonably well but am still learning kanji, I've got a furigana-overlay plugin that helps me with pronunciations of kanji I'm not familiar with. I don't know if any of those are available on IE, but if they are, I've never heard of 'em. (And all of those plugins were designed for 3 but they work just fine with Firefox 4!)

really, if IE9 isn't playing nice, this is totally a good time to investigate whether Firefox's customizability might make you happy. :D
