One feature I got hooked on back in the day was auto-URL completion by using Ctrl. So you type in "google" into the address bar, hit Ctrl+Enter, and the url would automagically become http://www.google.com/ [google.com] . Firefox took this a step further and have made Shift+Ctrl+Enter.org, and Shift+Enter.net. Naturally, I habitually did this in Opera when I tried it out, and it would not auto-complete, it would f
The real reason I moved back to Firefox after I tried Opera (and I gave it a good month) was because one day, Gmail just stopped working. On different days, both at work and at home, I could not log back into Gmail no matter what I did (short of reinstalling Opera, because I'm just too lazy to do that). This also happened to a coworker; he switched back too.
Same here. I actually have Opera and Firefox installed on my machine. I *try* to use Opera since it sounds promising, but it always fails on Javascript. Gmail doesn't work correctly all the time. Just yesterday Yahoo! mail wasn't rendering properly - the buttons were overlapping the body text in my email, and none of the button functions worked either. The biggest reason I don't use Opera is because a website my wife needs to use for work won't render properly. Again, it's a javascript error; a js menubar with pulldowns doesn't display properly.
Firefox crashes on me a lot, especially when I have too many tabs open. 9 times out of 10, Firefox 'crashes' when I close it. Instead of closing normally, an error message occurs stating that there was a problem (not sure of the specific wording, but it doesn't close properly). It's normally not a big deal since I'm closing it anyway, but it's still not very tidy.
