I'm liking the way it deals with bookmarks in the toolbar a lot better than IE. IE tends not to store them in memory which is really inconvenient waiting for it the parse it off the hard drive in low priority.
OS X even had issues on UFS partitions, because UFS is case sensitive, and some library locations where stashed away case insensitvely. That may have been fixed by now. I'm running on HFS+ partitions anyways.
I think you're a little to close to the project. The e-mail client is a little shabby but as far a speedy browser with a useful interface I'm liking mozilla.
These are not unqualified comments either.
IE's "links" toolbar is totally fucked up although I do like the concept as I have a huge list of bookmarks I have compiled. Thing is that the design obviously isn't meant for anything other than a few bookmarks. So large hierarchial lists tend to display really slow. Mozilla on the otherhand seems to handle it a lot better. Also the weird XUL interface is a lot improved recently a lot more native to the OS it's running on. Which is a very welcome improvement
Lastly is IE's security model. It's a load of steaming horseshit. All it takes is one idiot to use your computer and click "yes" to install Bonzibuddy embedded in a webpage when they hit a breeder site and your computer is totally comprimised to the scum-ware.. scum. Put on high security and you have to be prompted everytime you want run an active-x control.
And with tabs the interface is way more efficient than IE. There's the form, image and password managers also.

There's a lot of reasons to use mozilla still.
