Which browser suits best from developers point of view,Firefox or Internet explorer.

I'd suggest you use either Firefox or Chrome as your main development browser and then test at regular intervals with other browsers you need to support. The main reason for going with them over IE is the improve support for debugging CSS and JavaScript (using either Firebug or Chrome's developer tools). Perhaps support for this will improve with IE9 but for now it's painful.

It's worth pointing out that Chrome has a very useful extension called Speed Tracer that will help you diagnose bottlenecks in your web application. Quite useful for rich client webapps with lots of JavaScript and dynamic HTML layout.

FireFox, it has great plugins to help you develop and test. IE is far more limited.

I would recommend checking out Lynx.

i prefer Firefox. you got so many developer tools such as FireBug, YSlow etc. thought their equivalent tools are avaliable in IE but they are not so feature rich and user friendly

In a Developer's point of view you HAVE to support all major browsers ;-) unless there is a reason to ignore a browser. For example I develop mostly intranet portals and company guidelines is to concentrate more on IE as users are not allowed to install other browsers.

Both Firefox and IE (8) have good developer tools namely Firebug and Developer tools.

all of them. seriously. even if you write your code to be W3C standard compliant - every browser has its quirks. test on all of them. it's good practice. but at a general level - firefox has the best plugins for developers (firebug, live HTTP headers, and more).
