Opera is a successful, commercial, professional, profitable company who develop and market an excellent product which is not just a browser but a mail client and irc chat platform as well and is successfully integrated on hand helds and phones worlwide.
IMO whilst Mozilla is undoubtedly a good browser, it is IMO developed by a group of keen enthusiasts for the tecchie market.

I tried Opera and didn't like it... it seemed quite keen to make me pay for it as well, so i'll stick with firefox.
I have to disagree with what you have said about installing plugins- in firefox,
go to tools-> extensions-> get more extensions and just click on the one you want and it will be installed... hardly IT degree level!!
anyway, that is
The passwords that i use at home, i know off by heart so don't copy, and i also use firefox, but at work where i use IE, i can't remember all my passwords so end up copy and pasting them
