I think I still prefer Opera a bit... for my taste, Firefox sticks a bit too much to IE schemes in some respects.
For example, it also has its settings under "extras / settings" like IE... I like the "quick preferences" feature in Opera, where you press <F12> and get a context menu to easily and instantaneously toggle Java, JavaScript, Cookies, Proxy connection, PopUps etc.
Another advantage of Opera is that it saves GFX a lot faster. If I open a link to a photo with Firefox, it loads the pic. Normal. Then I right-click "save as...", and then it apparently d/ls the photo again or transfers it from its file cache to the place you specified, and that takes 1-5 seconds AGAIN (depending on the size of the image, of course)! Moreover, during that loading/copying time, I can't close the tab. . Opera is faster in that respect.
But maybe they changed that with FF 1.0. I'm still using 0.9.2. Anyway, I still like FF, and I use both FF and Opera now.
