Publicity. the hype that mozilla and the open source community created for firefox.
Opera has never been so agressive in marketing department. And marketing is very important, specially when you have to compete against a monopoly.

Opera has some problems when it comes to Tags.. I face it many times. Also Opera does'nt have that many Add-ons as Firefox has...

I used opera for a week, has some problems with gmail. When I click reply in a conversation and the textbox opens below, I am not able to type in that. Simply chucked it.

With the ease of accessibility and features as in add ons i think fireFox is ahead.
However for me gone are the days of just using one Browser. I use three browsers in this ways:-
Internet Explorer
For Security surfing such as internet Banking and Business online accounts. Phishining filters are good there.
Firefox
General Surfing and mail checking and Digit Foruming
Opera
Downloading stuff ( Blocking all Java scripts, Images n all )
So basically i need of the three browsers!
