Opera on the Rise? FF in Decline?

In our poll of browsers, FF3 was the clear winner with Opera a distance second.

For me, I am starting to have problems with FF3 taking too much CPU and causing my laptop to overheat, so I recently switched to Opera on my desktop. I already use Opera Mini on my mobile phone.

I am starting to like Opera and am using it more than FF3 because it is faster and does not hog my CPU as much. I like how Opera synchronizes bookmarks between all my devices, including Opera Mini.

If you use both Opera and FF3, what do you think? Is Opera on the rise versus FF3?
