It’s almost impossible to use any other program while browsing with Firefox. I couldn’t stand it anymore.

CU Firefox, bye bye Thunderbird… Hello Opera!

I easily managed to import all my local bookmarks via Opera’s importer, the only thing I couldn’t get solved was importing one out of 4 email accounts I’m using (maybe because of several subfolders?) and the (logical but) annoying fact, that I can’t import my passwords from Firefox.

BTW: The time I was typing this, Opera used between 2% and 12% of CPU and 95MB of RAM.

Edit: If you encounter similar problems but you are a Mozilla Evangelist and/or you prefer opensource, use Mozilla Seamonkey instead of Firefox and Thunderbird.
