Of course - and throwing statistics can always come back to you as more statistics than you asked for ;).
That being said, I really don't remember when was the last time my FFox crashed - it really doesn't, and I'm with it since about version 0.9.1 or even 0.8.something, but it's still a memory hog and I really have to close it at least once a week or it becomes kind of slow. It may be caused by some naughty plugin (Flash is a suspect, but then Java may be too).
IE... I still use it when I really must - as oBrowser or on machines to which I connect remotely. Most of the time it's easier to just use the clipboard and flip between my local end remote desktop, than to use IE.
Does IE7 still use notepad for "view source", i.e. no syntax coloring?
