Well, for a while, I was using Opera 9b .... and it became completely unstable. If I left it open overnight, and my computer went into hibernation, it would lock up. I'd have to close it. It began to slow down when open for long periods of time, and sometimes would freeze for no apparent reason. Also, certain sites, images, and pages (particulary image hosting) would fail to load, or f**k up all the time. The only problem was, I loved how Opera was set up. Then, I found a solution:
Firefox Add-Ons
All-In-One Sidebar: http://firefox.exxile.net/index.php - Opera-style sidebar
Adblock Plus: http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/ - A really good popup/advert blocker
Fasterfox: http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/ - A customizable network/cache/preloader tweak.
Gmail Space: http://www.rjonna.com/ext/gspace.php - Allows you to use your 2GB GMail as web storage.
ImageBot: http://pimpsofpain.com/imagebot.html - Imageshack + Photobucket stand-alone. Archives your uploaded photos, and allows you to upload in the background without visiting a site.
PDF Download: http://www.pdfdownload.org/ - Allows you several options when clicking on PDF files other than loading them in your browser window.
GMail Notifier: http://www.nexgenmedia.net/extensions/ - Notifies you when you get a GMail *durp*
Firefox is running faster than Opera ever has on my computer, and is 10x more stable. All my pages load fine, and it hasn't crashed once. The sidebar is great, and works flawlessly. I reccomend this route over Opera to anyone who's had problems, or is just plain stuck to Firefox already
