I'm back on Firefox for now, mainly because I'm more used to it and because I didn't want to go to the hassle of installing Flash and Flashblock on Epiphany, but I'm more open to switching at some point in the future than I used to be.

As a SeaMonkey user I try Epiphany from time to time but it's just lacking the polish as a browser for the hard-core web surfer. Things like the location bar not being focused in a new tab, poor history UI (only slight better than Firefox 2's), not supporing the back and forward buttons on my mouse and so on.

Use Epiphany for all your normal web browsing and use firefox for debugging websites. That way you don't need to go without firebug, and still get the nicer browser experience for everything else. I know it's a radical concept but it might just work. Stating the obvious:
