Yes, I've used Opera in the past, primarly for its quick loading time, one-instance-multi-site browsing capabilities (before it was called tabbed browsing), and standards compliance. The ads were a bit of an annoyance, though, and Mozilla was out, which offered all that and open-sourceness to boot. So I switched.
My main complaint about Mozilla has been its obscene loading time. I had to preload the thing to get any speed out of it. Thankfully, with Mozilla Firebird (which will become the main browser in a release or two), they switch from a kitchen-sink model (Seamonkey, aka Old-style Netscape) to individual components with the bare essentials with support for add-ons, thus dramatically decreasing the download and loading time for the browser.
I like it thus far. I suggest you download a nightly build and check it out for yourself.
