Firefox has so much feature to it with the addons I can duplicate everything Opera has and more with Firefox. Firefox is faster too and outperforms Opera. Switched from Opera 10 to Firefox and haven't looked back. Opera sucks it’s way behind the times.

I dislike it so much that I have moved to using Firefox 3.6x and I doubt I will be using Opera much in the future. This page has been a GREAT help to me since many of the features I relied on in Opera are available in FF with add-on's. On a sad note, it seems that the 'Formfiller' add-on has been abandoned by it's creator and won't work in current versions of FF. I haven't found a replacement for it yet.

I have been looking for an add-on for Firefox with this same functionality but have been unsuccessful. Anyone know of a plug-in like this?

(giving you the opportunity to overload page functions..) while in GreaseMonkey the script is always loaded afterwards..
