There are loads of "What do you think about Firefox" and "Firefox vs. X" threads. Could you please, please, at least try to make this thread interesting by bothering to write why you prefer Firefox to Opera? Do you like the user interface better, or is it the community, is it the open sourc thing? Why!? Why do you use Firefox?

I <3 Firefox. Its interface is small navigation bar at the top is so small that sometimes my mouse misses the buttons. I also like the fact that you can customize it to your heart's desire. Of course, the tabs come in handy too. I've seen screenshots of Opera, and I don't like it. First, Opera is not free (there are free versions of course, but I don't think it's worth it). Second, the free version of Opera is clunky - worse than IE.

How is the free version of Opera clunky? The only differnce is that you have a small Google ad at the top, other than that there is no change. It's just as fast as the pay-version,

That's the thing - ads or ad (however you look at it). I don't like it in anyway, but that's just my opinion. I mean, I understand their reason for putting ads on their browser, but I don't use it

I´ve never tried Opera but people usually say that is better than Mozilla. I never received any reason why I find Mozilla a very handy browser... the tabs feature is really good (don´t know if Opera has it) and anyway, I think we have to be united using one browser as a real alternative to Explorer monopoly. For that reason, I choose Mozilla which has a bigger community of users.

I have used a lot Internet Explorer, Opera and now Mozilla Firefox. Anyway Opera is much better then Internet Explorer (in fact anything is better then Internet Explorer but this is well know by everybody these days). At first I used Internet Explorer because it simply came with Windows and I wasn't surfing to much so it kind of didn't matter. But than I started surfing more and I realised that Internet Explorer sucks (big time). So since I hate Microsoft so much I sad what the hell and downloaded Opera. It is trully much better that Internet Explorer and the best thing about it (other then the fact that it is the fastest browser on earth...just my opinion) is that is has lots of options. For example you can duplicate a tab just by one click without having to open a new tab and write the adress again. But after half an year I realized that Opera has some big bugs that led to crash (not computer crashes but browser crashes so I downloaded Firefox. So now I use Firefox which is (in my opinion) great. Great is also the fact that the popularity ranking of Internet Explorer is falling (lost 6% since the release of Firefox 1.0 Not PR). I think Microsoft feels the taste of defeat ...

I use mozilla firefox and I'm quite satisfied with it. However I keep using Internet explorer from time to time due to certified sites which IE only uses. Opera - I've not used and I don't know how to compare with it. I've seen the preview it looks good too.

Absolutely Opera  Because I didn't have to pay for the adless version  But there's not really anything wrong with Firefox, I have it and use it occassionally. I'm just more acustomed to Opera

I would prefer Mozilla Firefox over Opera any day, because for Opera to get the ad free version, you have to pay. Think about it, who would want to pay to use an Internet Browser? Also, Mozilla Firefox looks so much better than Opera. I expecially like the Tabbed Browsing in Firefox, and also the Bookmarks menu. I currently use Firefox, and I must say that I enjoying using Firefox!
