eWEEK Labs' tests show that Beta 1 of the open-source Firefox 2.0 includes some welcome new features, catches up a bit with capabilities found in other Web browsers and adds some nice security enhancements. However, while Firefox 2.0 is shaping up to be a good upgrade to Version 1.5 of the popular Web browser, it doesn't look like it will be the slam-dunk over the forthcoming Internet Explorer 7 that Firefox 1.5 has been to the current IE 6.x. For that matter, unless Firefox 2.0 and IE 7 improve greatly before their respective releases later in 2006, neither will come close to topping the quality of the already shipping Opera 9.

"Too many panes, icons, bars, panels, icons on bars, panes on panels, etc."
Have you actually tried Opera? It has one more button than Firefox by default. It has two visible toolbars by default. The panels are disabled by default.
In fact, just about all additional features are hidden and/or disabled by default in Opera. They don't appear until you start using them.
At least TRY Opera before you comment on it!
"Plus a popup confirmation for every trivial thing you tell it to do."
Such as? Please mention some of these "endless streams" of confirmation popups.
One has to wonder: Did you actually TRY Opera at all?!
