The license has little to do with the skill of the programmer. The quality of the program is down to management. Opera is a tight-knit hard working, full time team. Firefox (and I'm a big fan myself), has a lot of part time staff who work for Google and other companies, and progress is very slow.

Well anyone who has told you that is an idiot, and you are an idiot as well for believing them. They say the method of open source development is better in the longrun, not that open source developers are automatically more skilled than closed source developers.
And really, if your whole purpose in life is to troll online message boards to get a little bit of glee and amusement by annoying people for a fraction of a second, then you are a very sad individual indeed. Reading through some of your comment history makes it very clear that you are very much against Linux and OSS, so quit pretending to be oh so outraged that they went with Opera instead of Firefox, and grow up.

I hear that Minimo requires 64mb ram to run, Opera can work in DS's 4mb. Yeah we're talking about Wii, but clearly one is a better browser than the other and liscensing has little to do with it.
