lifehacker.com— Firefox's strong point is its extensibility, and after taking a look at the way Lifehacker readers extend Firefox to do their bidding, it's hard to understand why anyone would choose any other browser.

I have tried Firefox several times since Firebird Beta, but I've always gotten back to Opera. It feels more snappy, and basically, the feature that are available as extension on Firefox come out of the box with Opera. More simple. I like having the chat application, the web browser and the email client in the same application also. And Opera uses much less RAM :-)
I love Firefox and all, but the only way I can use it now is in safe mode. I miss my addon/extensions. If I try adding them back in, all my memory is eaten and it crashes. And if I have to use it stripped, I might as well use Opera, which is quickly becoming my favorite because it's more efficient while still doing all the same things, and has speed dial and a tab trash can. I love those things so much. XD

Minimalism? You've got s**t everywhere!

The site was right when they said minimalism was popular. My Firefox install isn't quite as minimalist as my Opera one ...<a class="user" href="http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/3020/opera1024bh4.png">http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/3020/opera1024bh4.png</a>
