I'm a Firefox user (been with it as pheonix and firebird). I really haven't tweaked it out all that much. I just want my tabs, my built in google search and the nice pop-up and add blocking features. I do have a more robust add blocking plugin installed but don't really need it.
I run into pages that don't render quite right (it happens on ESPN and Microsoft a fair bit) and there are some sites that I use at work that simply will not work with IE. The main issue is java scripting. IE seems to be a lot sloppier in what it lets through and there are times when buttons and such that use java scripting just don't work in Mozilla. There are also some web mail clients that aren't as full featured in the Mozilla based browsers as they are in IE, even if you have your browser report itself as IE.
I recommend just install browsers and playing with them and finding what you like. Generally things all play nicely and I've set up web dev systems with 8 or more (can't recall) browsers on them.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
