But I think I've heard something about Firefox's source code being in the public domain and open for anyone to modify (or something to that effect), sorta like the Linux kernel.

yeap firefox is open source....and i use it both on my windoze and linux boxes....rather than dumb IE....
 
I found this: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html

The guy tested the speeds for a cold and a warm start, and I have experienced a very slow start speed for Firefox. Both Firefox and IE seem to be fairly evenly matched for rendering CSS and tables, with Firefox in the lead. Firefox 1.5 (my version) lags a bit behind all tested versions of IE when it comes to loading multiple images, but Firefox 1 and 2 are a bit faster than IE in that respect.

Maybe I'll use IE (v7, beta 2) for a bit and re-evaluate.
 
I use a Mac and firefox (ver 1.5.0.6) is considerably faster than either IE or Safari. Plus, I like the tabbed browsing.
