I'd really like some help from an Opera fundi who has used Firefox.
I am totally enjoying FF but want to try Opera since I like some bits but i keep coming back to the same old issues.
1) RSS feeds in live bookmarks ala Firefox. Opera just doesn't do RSS the way I like it. The live bookmark is so easy to use in FF and just makes sense - no need to open a new tab, just view feeds from any page you happen to be on... I can be banking and see new posts on MyADSL without leaving the page - very convenient.
Opera has the whole RSS reader thingy built in - very tedious and kind of like a seperate news reader app. If I want to know more about a topic, I go to the page, I couldn't be bothered reading whole articles in any format other than the original.
2) Search - why hasn't anyone emulated FF search in the taskbar - so much more convenient and it doesn't hover over the results on the page - and of course as you type, the first result is highlighted and the bar turns red and you hear the audio telling you there is nothing on the page when you enter something that's not there - no need to enter it all and click search before it lets you know it's not there... incredibly intuitive and simple. I hate floating windows that have to be shifted all over.
3) Passwords. FF makes it very simple to remember passwords. The opera wand allows you to do it, but I can't find a simple way to switch between two accounts on the same page. I have two logmein accounts for two different sets of computers that I use regularly and the stupid wand always fills in the first credentials I logged in with - dunno how to use the others.
Maybe someone has suggestions - esp 1 and 3, I can live with 2 if it's the only way, but 1 and 3 are crucial to my experience...
Thanks in advance.
