Yes, have tried Opera since some time and tried recent one 11.x too. But somehow with Firefox I feel home.

Perhaps you should check out Firebug. It's been a big deal for a year now, and does various thigns much better than web dev toolbar.

I am using Web Developer as a good addition to Firebug, which IMHO is the BEST EVER extension for Designer/Web Developer.
Web Developer has a number of features not available in Firebug, like displaying a lot of on-page information, disabling certain parts of the site (CSS, JS etc.) but the highlighting of selected HTML elements is much better in Firebug. First, it is totally intuitive and interactive. And it allows one to see all information concerning the element at the same time (HTML, actual rendered view, CSS, DOM properties etc.).
And the funniest part is that Web Developer and Firebug seem to be design to complement each other: WD is available in the tool bar whereas FB is in the status bar, so you can use them simultaneously!
