Auto update can do both firefox and your extensions/themes.  Its under tools, options, advanced, update.

The main reason for the switch back was that I think Firefox is more useful for web research with integration with notetaking tools, delicious tagging, etc. -cthorpe (May 16, 2007, 08:09 AM)

Sorry, the built in notes and delicious bookmarklets can't hold a candle to Firefox's extensions and the ability to integrate external programs with it.

For example, clicking the delicious bookmarklet in Opera lets you tag the link and send it to delicious.  In Firefox, the box offers suggested tags based on your tags as well as tags given to the page by other users:



Also, you can get a delicious menu that lets you go to your tagged sites with ease.



As for Opera's notes, the biggest problem is that they don't retain formatting.  In fact, copying text from Opera always results in unformatted text.  Even if you could copy formatted text into the notes, being able to integrate programs such as Evernote or Surfulator with Firefox is wonderful.
