Opera como alternativa Linux a Mozilla Firefox

Actualizado el 18 de octubre de 2026

Nuestra opinión

Opera can replace Firefox for Linux users who prioritize built-in tools like a free VPN, music player, and messaging apps, especially if they game or stream. However, it's not ideal for users who rely on open-source software, strong extension support, or cross-browser sync with non-Opera devices. Opera handles modern web standards well and is stable on Linux, but its proprietary nature and limited privacy transparency compared to Firefox may concern some. It’s a decent alternative for casual to mid-tier users wanting convenience, but power users and privacy-focused ones should stick with Firefox.

Abrir tus archivos de Mozilla Firefox

Opera can import bookmarks, passwords, and browsing history from Firefox during setup via the browser import tool. Exporting data from Firefox in standard formats (like HTML for bookmarks) is supported and can be imported into Opera. However, syncing between Firefox and Opera after migration isn’t automatic or built-in. Session data, custom preferences, and add-on settings won’t transfer. For full compatibility, use Firefox’s export options before switching.

In Opera, go to Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings > From Firefox

Preguntas frecuentes

Can I use Firefox extensions in Opera?

No, Opera doesn’t support Firefox add-ons directly. It uses Chromium extensions, so you must find equivalents in the Opera or Chrome Web Store. Some popular tools have alternatives, but advanced or niche Firefox extensions may not be available.

Does Opera sync with Firefox?

No, Opera does not sync with Firefox. You can import data once, but ongoing sync across devices only works within Opera’s ecosystem using an Opera account.

Is Opera’s built-in VPN safe and reliable?

Opera’s free VPN is lightweight and no-log, audited by Deloitte, but it’s not a full replacement for a dedicated third-party VPN. It encrypts traffic but only covers browser activity and has limited server locations.
