Any comparisons between Opera and Firefox?

I've been using Opera and love it, most of the time...

Well, with Opera Free, you have banner ads, with firefox you don't. More pages seem to be compatible with firefox than with Opera, though Opera does have a better built in history function. The sidebar notepad is also really helpful, but it's possible that all those functions could be replicated using extensions for firefox.

I'd say the long and short of it would be a wash between the two; the slight speed advantage for Opera would be great for older machines, though firefox in a linux environment would usually be even faster on older machines.

Oh, and firefox is much less 'busy' unless you choose a theme that is more opera-like.
