Thanks for everyones input on this however i've decided to stick with Opera and here are the reasons why.
1. Opera is so much faster at rendering pages even with fasterfox installed.
2. I don't need all those extensions as most come with Opera as default.
3. The scroll speed isn't the same, and whatever extension i install it's just not how i want it.
The only advantages Firefox gives me are.
1. Firefox works with more pages.
2. I prefer the default skin of Firefox.
So i'm now off to find a skin i like for Opera.
