Both.
I personally use Firefox, IE & Opera too.

You shouldn't just design for one particular browser really. Your site should be accessible to as many people as possible.

I use all three major browsers. Most of the visitors on my site are using firefox. So I first designed my site with firefox. After I have a functioning model, I then try to get it to work in Internet Explorer.
For my last javascript project An online calculator - gridter.com: links, just the links
after I made a functioning model in firefox, it took me 2 weeks to get a similar working model in Internet Explorer. If you look at my webpage, you'll see that I couldn't find a way to get the same effect on both IE and Firefox, so I just had to make two different copies - one for Internet Explorer and one for Firefox (and most other browsers).
Overall, I've found that Opera is intermediate between firefox and Internet Explorer. If I can get something to work in both Internet Explorer, and Firefox, it should also work in Opera and just about every other browser out there!

You should first make sure everything works well for the browser used by most of your visitors, then, you should try to make things compatable with other browsers.

You should test in as many as u can.

I agree with Fry but if you don't have the time...here are some statistics that should help you decide. This is browser hits from the W3school:

IE7 16.4%
IE6 39.8%
IE5 2.5%
Firefox 31.2%
Moz 1.4%
S 1.7%
O 1.5%

Hope thats helpful.

Best,
