I've recently been using Moz 1.6 for most everything. I have a bookmark with my usual dozen tabs so it loads that and opens all my usual windows. Also, the built in popup blocker really makes minced meat of all those annoyances.
I do have IE 6 handy to test stuff, and to get into the handful of sites that require an insecure browser to enter.
