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
