The major advantage to FireFox is the extensions. Anyone can add an extension to FireFox. While opera is a faster, more stable browser (probably because it isn't open source) and is loaded with many great features, those features are it.
With FireFox you can download extensions to make tabbed browsing even better than just having multiple tabs. You can download extensions to label and organize tabs and give the ability to drag them, and to have pages that should open in a new window, open in a new tab instead.
Also, the best FTP client I have ever used is FireFTP, a FireFox plugin (which is all I really use FireFox for, I use mostly Safari now that I got SafariStand).
I could really care less if Google buys Opera. It probably won't change either the browser (unlike Adobe buying Macromedia where the price went up 150%). It will just mean that Google controls even more of the world in their quest for global domination and possibly will make more money in the long run.
I don't much care for Opera, I think it's clunky (as is FireFox). And I don't care much for FireFox on Mac (or Camino for that matter), but if I had to have one or the other, I would chose FireFox, simply because it can be expanded by anyone with coding experience to infinity.
