IMO, Firefox is only slower compared to IE because of the memory management problem with the gecko engine. This was something I read from the mozilla forum, but I have no way of validating the accuracy of the information.

Even if the information is true, Firefox is much much safer than IE and the developers are constantly updating the browser, adding functionalities, patching up bugs and optimizing the codes.

I like Firefox because it is better than IE. The issue of it being not developed by M$ is another plus point.

The Developers of Firefox are dedicated people whom loves doing what they do best and they are very concerned about the quality of their products, an attitude which M$ is seriously lacking.

It has been months or years since M$ took the effort to update IE and it is hopelessly outdated by today's standard. Functions like tab browsing and mouse gesture and something innovative features that makes browsing easier with Firefox.

IE may be fast, but it is outdated and unsecure. IE is only useful for windows update, beyond that, I can't say I have much use for it.
