/been using FF since ~'05, I think it was version 1.5 or something. Nowadays I use it because I've just gotten used to it, and I've never had any problems with it.
Shikage is sort of right in the slow thing though. FF is known for being a memory hogger, so it's not the most efficient browser in that aspect.
If you use one too many mem heavy programs, FF will start to slow down. Too many addons will add to that too.
Other than that, FF seems pretty reliable.
IE in the other hand used to be a pain to deal with. I remember running into error/unsupported pages and getting window popups constantly. And it used to be pretty slow compared to FF back then. Also, Tabs. Can't comment about how it is nowadays because I just don't use it (except when I need to download FF).
Anyway... that article is silly, but whatever.
