There were a couple of things it didn't used to be able to do right after they upgraded (print to PDF for example) but I can't think of anything it can't do now. It also has a built-in ad-blocker. You can import your Firefox bookmarks as an html file, and you can synch Opera across several devices, or use it on someone else's machine, just like Chrome. But it sounds like Firefox might be bogging down your system, which is why I stopped using it a few years back.

p.s. there's a proxy setting under Privacy and Security / VPN
