Mozilla Firefox allows you to manage website permissions easily. You can allow or disallow one or more websites to store cookies, offline data, store passwords, open popups or ask for your geographical location.

One thing I like about Opera browser is its ability to show tab previews without actually switching to those tabs. All you have to do is hover your mouse cursor over those tabs and a small thumbnail preview would popup. This helps you to see the contents of a tab without bothering to switch to them one by one. This same functionality can be added to Mozilla Firefox too using the Tab Scope extension. It does not require you to have Windows 7.
