gotta love this:
not bad, but you will have a hard time seeing me leave FF. I can do things in it I can't do in Opera, and yes, I do use them.

Awesome! I gotta get me some of that if I ever get Opera.

Firefox does that too (Both for the icon next to the URL and the icon next to the bookmark )
Opera does history, bookmarks, address bar, and you can add custom shortcuts directly onto your navigation toolbar.
Opera and FF are just about the same, with some minor differences. The biggest difference is that Opera caches everything, so you can load some pages faster, but that also makes it harder to observe changes to a page, because it reloads most of it from cache, so you need to refresh several times to see changes.

So seriously, should I switch to Opera? What advantages and disadvantages?
Opera isn't nearly as configurable, which drives me crazy because I hate how its tabs work. If you like the way it is setup out of the box, then you will like it, if there is something about it that bothers you, well, more than likely its tough luck
And you can get an icon-only bookmark in the toolbar with firefox - just don't name the bookmark and BAM - its icon only
(I have tested that, and it works) 
And where is the TIFW logo at?!? Sheesh...
I am fairly happy with FireFox right now, so I guess I will stick with it. It really doesn't matter though, as long as one is not using IE...

If you can get me Web Developer Toolbar, IE Tab, and Stumble Upon in Opera, I would gladely switch on over to it.

Yet another reason to hate opera - it isn't GNU or Free Software 
That is not a reason for disliking a piece of software... start obsessing on open sorces and actually look at what the program can do for you.
Huh, Nikky's got a point there. It's not so much what the problem cares about ideologically, although that is something to keep in mind, as what it does for you and what you can do for it
