Are you on the latest stable release of Firefox (2.0.0.12)? If you are going to make the switch, you export your Firefox bookmarks in HTML format (Bookmarks > Organise Bookmarks > File > Export) and import them into Safari. At least I expect Safari lets you import them - Opera and Konqueror do. On the Google thing:- First wild guess: Could the toolbar in Firefox be searching google.com while that in Opera searches google.ie or visa versa? Second wild guess: If you were searching for something about "Firefox", which is likely given your current problems, then getting different results is correct - the browser "tells" Google what it is and Google tailors the results accordingly. Check the address bar. You will see something like http://www.google.com/search?client=opera.... or http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox.... That’s all very weird, Sarah.

I still use safari for the occasional website that doesn't disply right under opera, but overall I find opera to be the best I've tried. I like that even if the unthinkable happens and the computer freezes or the browser shuts down unexpectedly, it remembers all the windows I had opened and takes me right back to where I was before the freeze etc. Top notch.

As a blogger the best browser for you would surely be FLOCK http://www.flock.com/ Give it a try and I am sure you will like it. However by far the best browser around and now free of the adverts is OPERA, version 9.26 now available at http://www.opera.com/ Still it is handy to have IE7 on the computer too as some sites work best with the IE browser The two fastest are Flock and Opera which I think are really fantastic Firefox is pretty good alright and has many useful add ons.

It's still in the testing phase, but I believe it will be released in the not too distant future. It's cracker!! It's well worth waiting for, as it has a lot of neat little changes. The biggest change though is the clarity. All images are much crisper and cleaner. Well worth waiting for! I have been using the latest version of Firefox for the last few weeks.
