"With Opera recently releasing their web browser completely free of Ads, it is a good time to let the truth be told. Not only is Opera faster then Firefox in all performance areas, it is much more secure and more compliant."

I think you'd be hard pressed to find many people who will agree that adblock is "bloat"...
The parent was laying out reasons he likes/sticks with firefox. Having your weather delivered to you like Forecastfox is quick, simple, and extremely convenient. While I see no need for Foxytunes and Image Zoom, I do see the use in mouse gestures (which yes, I know Opera has), adblock (with updater), and forecastfox.
Sure, some computers/users cannot or will not handle such memory/processor usage. Some, however, prefer these extensions to not having them at all.
Opera is an amazing suite. So is Firefox.
Different strokes dude.

Adblock with the Adblock filterset.g updater == No ads ever
Image Zoom == Right click on images and use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out
FoxyTunes == Control my favorite music app while browsing
Bugmenot extension == right click in nytimes.com and don't worry about registering
Forecastfox == weather forcasts so I know when to browse the 'net for a few more hours
Those are useless toys that I call bloat.
Ok, fine, but I wouldn't use all those endless and useless extensions, and Opera has tons of hidden features that I'm used to and that I miss in Firefox, so the choice is quick.
