I downloaded Firefox 2.0 on Tuesday, as soon as it came out, and I have been using IE 7 since the first beta (about 5 months ago) and when I compare the two I see two BIG differences (though it's only been a few days, I'm sure more will come out): Firefox is faster, no doubt but they didn't change much in its appearance, and the security is much better however I still like IE 7 especially for the ease to change some settings and also for the phishing features that seem to work pretty well, I am still working on finding out about those same features on Firefox. Generally, because I have 3 browsers that I can use (Opera, IE and Firefox) I start with Firefox because I find it faster than the other two and I also feel more "secure" with Firefox but if I had to rate them in order of preference I would say:
1- Firefox 2.0
2- Opera 9.02
3- Internet Explorer 7.0

On the whole I like it. It's good to see tab close button on each tab and anti phishing, but I don't really like the redesign and for some reason I couldn't update from 1.5. Had to download Firefox 2 completely....
Found an interesting review on Softonic: http://firefox.en.softonic.com/ie/50473
And CNET have a cool video review of it...

The best, it's much better than 1.5 and I think it feels better than IE6 or IE7.
By the way, you should still install IE7 (if you have XP) anyways, for the security improvements it makes to your PC.
