Why do you consider, say, ath9k drivers non-free?
What are those wonderful features that opera has, and firefox doesn't
(inability to render pages correctly, which is the case of opera
doesn't count)?

At the time I switched, there was a far better support for SVG in
opera. 3 years ago. It was the only browser able to render html into
svg, which is standard. I do not know about what inability to render
correctly you are speaking: I have seen that statement several times,
but never noticed the problem myself. And I do not think it is because
webdev try opera, those who does are probably minority, since opera is
not a mainstream browser, at least for desktop.
Also, you can disable JS/plugins/cookies and other stuff on a per-site
basis, unlike Firefox. I mean, without plug-ins, of course. This is very
useful nowadays, with all those sites using JS for everything and
nothing.
Then, mouse gesture. I use them a lot, for web browsing. Better
about:config interface (in fact, better configuration interface overall,
but for other options it's a matter of taste. For about:config, it
simply can not be discussed). And various minor details here and there.
I retried firefox several times, I never kept it.
I do not mean that firefox is not usable as it is, simply that my
choice go for opera because it have all features I need out of the box.
For wifi drivers, you are right, I forgot that there are some which are
free.
