I don't use extentions. I use various platforms, and some of them aren't supported by Opera at all (some not even natively). Mozilla works on all of them, and I don't have to put up with ads.

Maxthon is probably the best IE based browser IMHO.
I'm not even flaming, just pointing out that Opera is probably a better choice than firefox for most people

Opera doesn't have ads. For the free download(with every feature working), you get one banner which is for opera. It doesn't take any space, if you purchase opera it disappears but that space is still there. It isn't an inconvenience in the least.

Actually I was not referring to you.
There isn't any flaming going on. Nothing is perfect for everyone

I beg to differ,bottom line is use the browser you`re happy with.
Opera is still the fastest browser I`ve tried, but like you`ve stated nothing is perfect for everyone.

ok, well I think the real question should be, does that exist in FF ...Originally posted by: Muse

One reason I'm still using IE is that I can quickly and easily create a duplicate of the current page by hitting CTRL+N. Is there a way to do this with Firefox?It just goes to the home page.
Do you have "Reuse windows when launching shortcuts" checked in Tools/Options/Advanced?

That's an ad. The last time I used Opera the ad was not static (blinked, changed, whatever), and I find that too distracting. If that space isn't reclaimed, they're wasting too much space. I have a limited size screen, I don't want a bunch of it wasted on empty space.![]()

As for the new window duplicating the one that spawned it, look at the Clone Window extension. It only works when you press Ctrl+N though, not when you open a new window with a link - at least not yet. Maybe a future revision will.

I have never wanted to do this and it's one of the things that IE does that I absolutely hate, I've never understood why you would want to do that.
Well, for one thing I have found that sometimes I can't open a link off the context menu (right click menu), and have to hit a link directly. To have my previous page without having to reload it (Back button) I just hit CTRL-N before leaving my original page. There are other times I do this, too, I think.
The banner is larger than the toolbar's height, so it does take up space.Originally posted by: malak

OK, I know you are completely right. Well, then, I can dispense with the flamewars. You can disregard my last question if it's silly to start another such discussion. However, my other two questions I'd like answered if it's possible:
Can you make a duplicate of the current page quickly and easily in FF as you can in IE, and if so, how?
Can you easily resynchronize your bookmarks between the two browsers. Am I the only guy who uses both browsers? I have one important site that I go to that always flashes a warning when I open it in FF that it's not optimized for my browser, so I use IE for that site. Yes, I can limit my use of IE to that site (and maybe I will). Thanks, all.
