Firefox. Hands down. Why?
First of all I'm a Linux user. The latest builds of Firefox (3.0.1) seem as stable as you can get under both Ubuntu and Fedora. Most of the time when it crashes, it's due to a closed-source third-party plugin like Flash. And I've never seen Firefox 3 crash under Windows XP.
Second, I do a lot of work as a web developer, and Firebug (+ FirePHP and YSlow) make for a really powerful combo. There is one bug in Firebug itself that's annoying me at the moment, though.
Third, Firefox is open source so the community can work to fix it. I know most mainstream users don't care about it a whole lot, especially Windows users, but personally I consider it very important because not having the freedoms associated with open source means that I can't hack it and potentially compatibility problems down the road. (For example, VMware Server 1.0.x doesn't run at all on Ubuntu Hardy.)
