I'm looking forward to running some tests with Opera against FF 1.5. I upgraded a couple of weeks ago to FF 1.5, but most of the plugins I use were not yet ready for the new release, so I downgraded. I haven't tried Flock yet, though I grabbed a development download about 6 weeks ago. It's really fast, eh? I'll have to investigate the FF/Amazon thing again. I went through a bunch of plugin related fixes that were posted in the MozillaZine forums, but nothing worked for me. I'll give it a spin with FF 1.5. cheers SAM :) Thanks for your comments, Omar!

I did not find Opera to render pages faster than Firefox and much less than Flock. I've read too many posts about Opera being faster than Firefox, but I just don't see it. To surf the web, I use Flock (still under Beta) because of its speed. To post my blogs I use Firefox due to its great functionality with photos, tabs, spellers and personalized extensions. Regarding, audio browsing at Amazon, I have no problems with Firefox. There must be a missing plug-in with your Firefox browser. FYI, I'm using Firefox v1.07, and can't wait 'till 1.5 hit the streets (soon). Those are my two cents, for whatever they're worth.
