  1. Detail-level configurability built into the browser - particularly FF's bookmarks manager and its toolbar/button flexibility.
  2. Single-process design, even with extensions, for those situations when processor loading is an issue.
  3. The need to trust only one design team for a full-function browser instead of a browser team plus a host of different extension designers (ref: #1).
  4. The easy ability to block updating from within the browser; my computer is mine, and software updating is something I choose to do on my terms at my times, when/if I elect to update.

That all said, I'm increasingly drawn toward Vivaldi (though it has a long way to go) as Firefox is being increasingly 'dumbed down' in its configurability. Olde Opera was the unsurpassed king in all these areas, but New Opera unfortunately isn't.
