Opera is a great lightweight browser, and I really like its integrated mail client.
However, some months ago I switched to FF after Opera hosed my bookmarks during an upgrade, years of work lost.

I lost my firefox boolmarks 5 years ago, over 50 bookmarks lost. Had to re-create then again from memory, it took a while, but I got them back. Now I synchronize my bookmarks between Firefox and Google Chrome.
