FF has had FAR more issues for me: High CPU usage randomly, erratic behavior when more than, oh, 6 tabs are open (and I have 4 GB of ram, don't even mention that as a possible factor). It's crashed far more than IE ever has for me, and that even includes the craptastic IE6.
Furthermore, FF + PDF == fail. I don't understand what's so hard about loading a PDF for viewing inside the browser, but Firefox manages to screw itself up probably nine of out ten times when loading a PDF file in the browser.
So yeah... more power to anyone that likes FF. For me personally, it's far too buggy to be usable for any period of time other than testing my websites.
I use IE regularly now, but I haven't had the same extent of problems with Firefox that you're reporting since version 1.5. I just stopped using FireFox when IE got good enough again (in general IE is faster and more respectful of working set than my experience of FireFox).
The failure with PDF is probably Adobe's fault. They are really not that great at producing Flash or PDF plugins and these are the most common sources of my problems with any browser. Try FoxIt reader. I've been having a really good experience with that product as a replacement for AcroRead (it works great in IE, and given the name I'm sure it'll do well in FireFox).
