FF does not show regional language (tamil) unicode fonts correctly. I switch to IE when this happens

I have been trying out Opera over the past week or so (9.24). It is a nice browser - seems fast, shows page sizes, statistics, progress etc. But I would prefer firefox over it because of the following reasons -1. Non-intrusive search.I don't like modal or even non-modal boxes popping up in the centre of the screen. Firefox is brilliant in this regard.2. Spell checkOpera requires you to download GNU Aspell. Fine, I do that. But it does not check for errors automatically. And a separate window pops up, again.3. Cleaning upOnce I set up privacy settings in Firefox, it cleans up everything in a single click. Opera pops up another box.I don't think I have missed any settings that fix any of the above problems. If something else needs to be done, I would be happy to hear about it.

Yep, the '.' works for the search.As for the closing the browser to clean up thing, is there something similar to the firefox - Clear Private Data - menu in Opera. The delete box always comes up (there was a similar problem in a previous firefox version - but that had something to do with clearing passwords)?------------------------------------Well, I am talking about climbing a simple staircase and you are providing information on how to climb Mt. Everest.

i used opera for a day but then switched back to FF. i suppose it didnt suit me.the reasons cud be that, the features u mentioned above are not used so frequently or infact not used at all.u dont set preferences everyday so no need of shortcutzoom is there in FF too, ctrl + and -imap / pop, its not the purpose of firefox.IRC / NNTP i dont use and may be many dont useonly feature that impressed opera over firefox is opening WAP sites. otherwise not my choice.
