About the only thing "new" IE7 uses is tabbed browsing and a search box. The extension add-ons makes FF above all imho. I do like Opera too though.

Once I stepped over to firefox, I could never again step back. You can customize it to your liking and it doesn't require a lot of hassle doing it (like Mirc)

I have two views on that ...

1) Extensions tend to make Firefox unstable and leak memory.  They produce an untestable environment which lends itself to issues.  Of course, without using extensions, you might as well use IE5.  So, I don't look at this as a winning scenario.
2) Opera comes out of the box with the features I need (no NEED for extensions) and they can be tested properly with the product as part of it's QA cycle.  It's CONTROLLED software, and for my day to day needs I'll take controlled software any day.  

OSS has it's place and I use a lot of it myself.  But my browser is open and running 24/7 and I need the stability and trustworthiness of Opera.

Plus, last time I looked, no ZOOM feature in Firefox - even with extensions.  And with a widescreen 1600x1280 monitor and LOTS of websites designed for 800x600, zooming is no longer "optional" to me

Is their a way to get that email link in the top right corner like the old firefoxes?  I think they took it out because it was causing problems or something?

Yeah, and you could "read mail" from the "Tools" menu on the last version and now that is gone too.  DeVS if you or anyone else knows how to access mail from in the new FireFox2 or how to add it, please post.
