I use a mixture of Firefox and Opera, although my Firefox uses a lot of extensions to make it's interface similar to Opera.
Firefox is nice for GameFOX, DownThemAll, and NoScript. They make gamefaqs/downloading/whitelisting javascript a hell of a lot easier. There are some sites that for whatever reason perform poorly with Opera.
Opera is nice for not taking three hours to open if I need to look something up while I have a game running. Opera also has a reeeeeally cool voice command thing built in that I greatly enjoy. I can talk to my browser and tell it what to do, and I can make it sound like a robotic loli. How awesome is that?
Firefox is -very- bad with memory consumption, especially if you run a lot of addons. Even base, it takes noticeably longer to load than anything else. Still, it can be very useful, and a lot of people design websites with Firefox in mind.
