Why? Well, those several small nuisances are just getting to be too much.

First, right here, I can't write a blog post, cuz for whatever reason, clicking in this text field just - won't do anything. So I can't even start typing. And that happens elsewhere too, field here, a button there: I'd click and do my thing, but I can't because the site won't work as it should, if it responds at all.

Second, sometimes sites just don't seem to want to load at all. Take GMail for example. I type gmail.com in the address field, press enter...and it's loading and loading and loading forever. I type mail.google.com in, and it works okay - other times it's the other way around, but totally random. While with other browsers, both addresses work ok. Same goes for Hotmail and Yahoo! sometimes as well. Not to mention some features of these latter ones are still not supported under Opera.

And that brings us to the next entry: support. Ok, Flash and ShockWave mostly work now. Mostly. But there isn't a week when I wouldn't run into at least one site telling me to use to either IE or FireFox. Oh and where's PicLens too? Nowhere. Nokia PC Suite still can't synchronize bookmarks with Opera, nor do some other programs offer Opera as an option when there's a list a browsers to choose from. Why, I'm asking?

And one of the most annoying "features": missed clicks. Right-click menu up, selecting an item (say, copy to note, or open in background) - and nothing happens. Every once in a while it's been like this since version 9.5 I think, but maybe earlier...I'm not sure. Idk if it only occurs for me, but they still didn't fix it. Why?

Add to all that that there still isn't a normal backup/restore feature or program to save those profile parts, like bookmarks, notes, passwords, etc... why? Especially when so many other features FireFox still needs add-ons for have long been implemented into the program itself.

...

So, with all that, my problem now is the following. IE is just no good of course; FireFox has a good x64 version (not just for Linux - hello, Opera, ftw?), but no PicLens support for that either (yet, I hope?). I wonder if there's a proper x64 browser with PicLens support out there...?
