If you cant tell any difference in the way the pages are rendering that means the browser is working correctly.
The reason most people switch to Firefox: it's not Microsoft.
Microsoft is like the Yankees, they're so big, so rich, they can do whatever they want and people hate an arrogant empire while they love an underdog.
The more logical reason: security
Anything CAN be hacked and exploited. However, MSIE has practically become a malware delivery agent that also happens to render web pages occasionally. People snap after de-hooper-izing their machines for the umpteenth time and look for a better way. Right now that better way for a PC user is either Firefox or Opera.
And if I had to call out any one single feature other than security as a reason to use Firefox, it would be tabbed browsing.
