Its funny because until now I haven't had a problem with IE7.

I didn't like 5 or 6 and used firefox but up until yesterday on my new computer I've had no need for firefox.

That being said I have always had problems with firefox and internet media. Always needing new plugins and never quite working like i'd want it too, no matter how much better it may have been.
 
Firefox has it's problems, namely a fierce memory leak that is resolved in the upcoming FF3 but that is it's main problems.

As for media plugins etc, the reason is simple fLIP, they don't want to bloat the product, if they included all of those plugins you would be downloading a single 100MB+ file when many people don't want or need those plugins. Instead it lets you choose. Open source is on many levels about "Choice" which this gives you.

IE7 took big steps on IE6 but it still has way too many problems with standards mode and compliance. Where FF can work around these in many ways even when thrown into quirks mode, IE just basically craps out if things aren't 100% perfect.
Many would argue that the web developer should be working on making everything perfect instead of IE working around it, but that isn't how development or the world works, and IE shouldn't crap out for the simple fact that a <HEAD> tag is missing
