Honestly, theres no point to this... the answers Firefox... and thats a fact. First off, IE7 is the first MS browser I have seen addons in, whereas FF has done it all along. MS doesn't provide developers help in creating addons, at all, that I know of, whereas Mozilla has a huge amount of resources available.

Then I just might as well add this in, after visiting MS IE7 addon website, Mozilla's website is extremely easy to navigate, loads perfect and fast, and no broken links, the first half dozen links I click on MS IE7 addon website were broken links. I expect better. Then I saw the addon featured on the front page that looked pretty cool, the description is cut off and I wanted to read more and view the full screenshot, they couldn't make it easy for you, they only provide you a broken download link, not the link to the addons own page, to read full description etc... it wasn't anywhere to be found, I had to search its name... that is f**king ridiculous. Seriously I am PISSED off at that.

Answer is Firefox hands down. Microsoft is such a non-user-friendly mess... Firefox is pretty much the exact opposite.
