None. I have no backup browser. I just use Firefox. Why, here is why:
On Windows:
IE sucks. Any version, it has no decent rendering engine, his addons sucks, too dangerous.
Safari/Google Chrome are not native. I would like to use them, they both have one of my favorites layout engines, WebKit. But both try to put beauty over nativity, and that is a bad thing in my opinion.
Opera is not native nor OSS. Opera uses its own style, has its own ways of doing stuff and has its own EULA. I don't like it. It is the best of the alternatives till now though.
Maxton/any other browser with the rendering engine from IE will suck as much as IE, no matter how many features it has.
Firefox based browsers, like Kmeleon and Seamonkey are too few and just not ready to come out or not the thing I want to use.
So on Windows if I don't have Firefox I would probably use Opera (or IE to get Portable Firefox ).
On Linux
Opera on Linux sucks, on webpages the fonts aren't antialiased, it is not native, it has no voice support nothing.
IEs4Linux is made just for testing webpages by developers (or should be).
Midori is too unstable (the browser for Linux made with WebKit).
Konqueror (I can't even spell it) is too overbloated, period.
Epiphany is the best of these alternatives and it would be my choice of election.
So on Linux if I had no Firefox (what is unlikely) I would go with Epiphany.
On Mac:
I never had a Mac
So I would go with Safari or Camino if I had no Firefox for Mac.

I go nuts if I don't get my Firecrack. I go a little cuckoo even if I have to use a stock Firefox.

Maxthon.
IMO Firefox is too slow to be worth running from most pendrives, so I use this quite often.
