I'm the same way until people start treating Firefox as though it were the only alternative browser on Earth. Mind you, I used to be the same way myself until Opera became freeware and I decided to try it out, so maybe I'm just rebelling against a past version of myself.

Anyway, I've discovered that Opera, in my view, is way better with the browser features. The tabbing support is a lot more intuitive; in fact, I never used tabs when I was a Firefox user because I found them so unintuitive. Also, I never really got into the Firefox extensions, as whenever I had to update my browser, they'd stop working. The main drawback to Opera, unfortunately, is that it's even worse at displaying IE-only sites than Firefox is. But for that, I blame web developers.
