On the other hand, Firefox is definitely powerful and I love some of the addons, so I'll use it for development purposes - a lot of Firebug etc., have become moot with Safari's new and hot developer tools, but I still need to do some Firefox-specific things. But I don't want to spend so much time customizing how it looks/behaves.
For security reasons you need more than one browser anyway. One for webmail, banking and all kinds of private password-protected stuff, and the second one - for the rest. Which is which doesn't really matter, although personally I chose Safari for important stuff and Firefox for the rest.

Why not just use different profiles and run multiple instances of Firefox?
So far though, I am very unimpressed with the interface choices they made with Firefox.
When I switched from Windows, I went straight to Firefox because I felt comfortable there. But (3 years ago), Firefox started getting buggy and slow. I loved the add-ons, but I switched to Camino because it was more Mac-like and stable. But since Beta 3 for Firefox came out, I've switched back and been really impressed with it. One feature that Firefox and Camino both have is the "Search for text when I start typing"…
Safari has the search for text while typing now too. It's cool.
The main reason I stick with FF is for Firebug and the Del.icio.us plugins.
