i like that they let you have a bookmark toolbar (handy for when your
playing plushie tycoon and doing game challenges)

so does IE.

unfortunately, it loads, runs, and renders much slower than IE, something
very important for any shoppers.

*snicker*
1. True, both can do this. Firefox can do it where you highlight some
text, right click it and open it. IE doesn't have that (neither does
Firefox natively, it's available as an extension (plug-in))
2. IE can't use less memory than IE.  
3. IE doesn't have tabbed browsing by itself. Avant or something like
that may, but it's not IE. Tabbed ≠ new window.

FWIW: The OP /does/ resemble a troll posting and not all that good of
one at that. Apologies to OPer if you're just a really enthusiastic
firefox user, but you went about it in a ham-handed way.

if you have a wheel button in firefox you can wheel click a link to auto
open it in a new tab, also, if you wheel click on a tab, it closes it, you
can also wheel click from your quick bookmarks toolbar to open in a new
tab... i love that feature

Just a quick hint...
When using IE try hitting F11, it makes it so you don't have to scroll as
much.
Very handy for games, though more difficult for multitasking.
Also, F5 is sometimes an easier way to refresh.

I tried using Firefox, but when selecting Full Screen to play Neopets
games, some of them came up in a tall narrow half-screen window with the
aspect ratio of the game all screwed up.

I use both IE and Mozilla (which does not have the same problem Firefox
did).

Haven't tried the F11, but do know that F5 refreshes in Firefox too, as
I use that regularly. It says in Firefox F11 is for "full screen", is it
the same for IE?
