I mainly use Opera, but it's nice to see Firefox is improving. It's my second browser choice.

IE7 now uses an orange icon to symbolize RSS feeds. Haven't we seen that innovation in a different browser created by some obscure company called Mozilla?

Why is Firefox so popular? Because it's not CLOSED SOURCE like Opera is. The extension/plugin community is massive, and you can find plugins that'll let you do whatever you damn well please. Can't find the plugin you're looking for? You can create your own and have plenty of support from the ff community.Firefox lets you have much more control and allows you to let you do whatever the hell you want, instead of what some Opera programmer *decides* you can do.

Who cares?Opera lacks a developer API. Firefox has a developer API (all of my add-ons implement features that Opera has not).And now, Firefox has enhanced zoom functionality, too. So I'm looking forward to it.It's of no use for me if a browser I can't use because of its limited features (in some areas) has features that the browser I CAN and do use has not.
