I like the way Firefox original selling point was "the lean and mean browser to fight IE browser bloat" - but after those roles reversed and Firefox became the biggest memory hog in the history of web browsers, you didn't ever hear them referring to themselves as 'bloatware'.(I love Firefox and never use IE, but I think Open Source community is just as, if not more guilty, of hyperbole and hypocrisy as any corporation)

@KibibyteBrain: Opera still has some layout bugs. (Yes, really. Try 100% width on a table cell and you must use min-width and max-width on the other cells to make it so it does not occupy the whole page width) Firefox is cool in the way it handles rendering - I mean, It's usually in between everything, working more often than other browsers do. It tends to work how you want it to. Plus, the speed of Firefox 3 is undoubtedly very high - JS speed is not a linear measure that stays true for every usage of it. I agree on web standards and codebase management though.And webkit, extremely cool ;)

Does FF 3 work better? They are trying to resolve all of the platform issues.

Hard to argue that.
