Firefox 2.0 to ship without Places
One of the most-touted feature updates
scheduled for Firefox 2.0, Places, has been axed from the Bon Echo roadmap and instead rescheduled for Firefox 3.0. In
a post to the
Mozilla development newsgroup, developer Michael Schroepfer announced the delay of the "complex and exciting
feature which changes the way people use bookmarks, history, and navigate through their private space of the web,"
saying they "do not have time to complete an implementation of places that lives up to our standards of user
experience and quality." Many users and developers have expressed disappointment and some are even arguing that
without the Places feature, Bon Echo no longer deserves the "2.0" label. Lead developer Ben Goodger has posted a blog entry responding to the criticism and
justifying the change.[Via Ars Technica]

I like firefox too but I like Opera a bit more. Opera is still faster and it has a lot of features. I love the speech or voice feature of Opera. On the other hand, Firefox is good too but still some behind than Opera, I guess.

I agree with Razib Ahmed. Opera run faster than Firefox on my old P2 266Mhz machine. I love how Opera save my visited page so I don't have to re-open them after I restarted my PC.
I only use Firefox to test the website I made.

I use Opera and Maxthon. I would switch completely to Opera if it would support RoboForm, but since it doesn't I use Maxthon too (which in combination with RoboForm really saves a lot of time).
I tried to use FireFox instead of Maxthon but I found it to be too slow and to lack some features over Maxthon (like super drag-drop).
