Firefox is greatly improved by using the right extentions. By itself it's ok, but Opera is better. All those extentions are what puts FF ahead of everything else. If you haven't taken the time to look through the extentions site and see if anything looks useful to you, you're likely missing out.
Right now I'm using:
Fasterfox - Mainly for the page load timer
Adblock - By itself it's ok, but with FiltersetG it makes web browsing nice again
Filterset.G Updater - See above
ForcastFox - Weather updates are always useful
Colorful Tabs - Makes having tons of open tabs easier
Image Zoom - So I don't have to save and zoom an image on my disk
Tabbrowser Preferences - More control over how tabs act
PDF Download - Asks me if I want to d/l a pdf or open it
GMail Notifier - So I don't have to visit the site to see if I've got mail
Flashblock - Priceless. Just Priceless
SessionSaver - Sometimes FF gets borked. If I have tons of tabs open, this saves me from re-opening them all individualy
Tab X - Helpful the same way Colorful Tabs is, if you really use a lot of tabs
My theme is always set to LittleFox, I also use only one toolbar. I guess I'm a minimalist when it comes to interfaces, but not for functionality.
