Alright.. I hope I don't get thrown at for this..

I accept:

- Almost all developers or most of them will make sure their website works with IE and FF but will not give a lot about it functioning correctly with Opera.

- FF has more Add-ons then Opera will ever have.

But if you look at it from Code development standards FF, they definitely sucks. I am sure no one likes statistics pulled from another website here but it speaks the fact.

Opera from 9 to 10 was affected by 54 vulnerabilities. Opera's patching time has been "excellent", I've heard rumors that Opera publishes vulnerability information only after getting a fix. However I have never confirmed this. Opera has passed all w3c testes.


FF on the other hand was affected by 114 + 18 vulnerabilities from 3.x to 3.5.x. Lot of Add-on's have been found to be affected by their individual set of vulnerabilities. Apart from this lot of add-on's collect user information without their knowledge. FF gets more memory consuming with ever version. Lastly Mozilla team has never been able to plug FF's memory leak post V 2.0 I guess. FF partially meets W3C standards


I really cannot see one reason which could convince me how FF has better coding standards than anyone out there.
