I like firefox way more. Especially the possiblity for extensions and therefore the ability for useful web developement tools (DOM inspector/Live HTTP headers).

I sometimes like tabbed browsing. It sorts the tabs together in one app and I can rearrange them so that I can easily read through them if I need a few pages for a longer period of time. Sometimes I want to have multiple windows as well, but this is perfectly possible as well. It's a useless argument to say you don't like firefox because of that, since you can simply avoid it. It's a feature, you don't have to use it if you don't want to. Separate windows work just as good as they do in IE6.
The entire idea of tabs rather than separate windows is a bit silly though. To me it means that the window list in Windows just isn't optimal. Tabs arrange multiple websites better for me than windows do, because I can easily rearrange them and find them while using another page.

About needing two clicks to close a tab: just middle mouse click and they will be closed. No more than one click needed.

About integration: what's so good about it? It's just as easy to hit windows key + r and then type c: to get to your c drive or firefox to start firefox to browse (or even the actual page URL). I don't see how typing in your address bar is any easier.

I support firefox as well to force microsoft to be more W3C standards compliant. Better standards compliance means less work for web developers to get their sites to display correctly in various browsers, which is imo a very important thing. IE7 seems to be a good step into that direction and offers most of what I need (except for the extensions/web dev tools) but it doesn't give me anything that I don't already have with firefox.

About that site, yes it's stupid to focus on only one browser. And I hate it to see any IE only or FF only sites (unless it's for FF extensions or IE only stuff or something, then it is at best "acceptable"). It just shows that the webmaster did not really care much about his site being viewed, in which case I usually don't really care about viewing it in return.
