There a couple of main reasons.
1) Extensions
I.E. WeatherFox (displays weather.co, weather in the status bar), Adblock (block images from websites by right clicking on an image, by blocking several ad sites you can have websites completely free of ads forever as they keep that one adserver).
2) tabbed browsing - enough said, very nice feature
3) Security, no spyware/adware installed without you knowing. Prevents websites from installing software without warning you first.
4) It isn't Microsoft
5) Optimized builds - I am using the M3 Moox build of Firefox which is faster than Firefox and really nice.
