    I prefer FireFox over Opera simply because of speed (with a little setting adjustments).

    ...and you will see for yourself that FireFox v.1.0 browsing speed is faster than Opera v7.54.

    So how quick is FireFox to browse through image archives? Opera is very handy, just click Forward (or like I do, mouse gesture) and the next image from archive is displayed. Opera is so intelligent to memorize all the links of the index file and can then browse the images in proper order without going back to the index page.

    Both are good: Opera and Firefox. Firefox is more for working than Opera.(in MY mind)
    I use Opera.

    Personally I still praise Opera, but main thing is that you don't use Internet Explorer for anything besides Windows Update. And my avatar and signature don't work with IE

    I use Opera, I think it's great cause you can zoom in/out with -/+ and *, and all other neat functions with the mouse, and cause it's so reliable and fast.

    Well, with Firefox, you can add more features such as Gestures, Zoom-In or Out, MediaPlayer, and etc by just adding more extensions. Sweet like Opera but better. The lastest version for Firefox is 1.0.1 but I heard Opera 8 is coming up this month and so, maybe Opera 8 will be better but for now, Firefox got my vote.
