OK, am I the only one that thinks they all suck? "Hot" is the only one that's at least tolerable. The rest have no actual bearing on what they're trying to advertise, or are so campy as to be useless.
Sorry, but, why?

I couldn't actually watch the videos in Firefox. I had to start up Safari to be able to see them!
Are you honestly trying to say Firefox is a better browser than Safari? If you need specific sites that only work in Gecko, like Google Maps for the first week it was out, I can see why you'd want to keep something like Camino as a backup. But Firefox? It may be adequate for people used to the types of misanthropic interfaces prevalent on Windows and Linux, but among Mac applications, Firefox stands out for its mediocrity. Even Camino has problems rendering text without jagged, uneven kerning, not to mention "undead widget" syndrome.
No, I simply don't understand how anyone can reasonably say Firefox is a decent browser for day-to-day use, at least not when better options like Safari are available.

"Misanthropic" is exactly the right word to describe the hatred of humanity that many, many Windows and Linux developers must feel to ship products with UIs the likes of which would send any halfway decent Mac programmer running, screaming, from the dungeon wherein he or she had the misfortune to encounter such beasts. I choose my words carefully. Don't insult my intelligence. And do some research before you spread falsehoods regarding what you perceive to be deficiencies in Safari--ultimately, all they reveal is your ignorance.
