worries about people who can't use a bookmark file
It's remarkably common—people who either don't know how or don't bother at all. Given the number of different places I trawl to regularly I couldn't manage without it.
But yeah, Fx (correct abbreviation) isn't the only alternative, I've tried and like Opera, and always tell people if you want a good browser and don't want/need plugins, Opera is better, but it's nowhere near as extensible (this post was made using an Fx plugin, for example).
But the new addressbar behaviour in Fx3 makes using both a lot easier and much more useful, given 30% of browsing is now Fx, that might mean that the addressbar becomes more commonly used.
But that there is now a large variety of browsers available is good for all, including IE users—IE7&8 are both much better because of the competition, which is good.
