If you want integration in FireFox - try DownThemAll! extension. I guess it will be enough (unless you close you FireFox often - or crash it, if it is not official release build (Mozilla or distribution), this can happen in some conditions).
You can also look at d4x program.
This is surising really i get quicker in firefox than in windows but i would say that extension get a download manager and try firefox exension fasterfox

You put it somewhere and in Firefox address bar you type something like file:///home/user/downthemall_-0.9.9.7-fx+fl+tb.xpi
It will ask if you want to install.

It is called killer-feature when you can do something better in Firefox than in Opera. Did you find d4x, by the way? I guess it doesn't have direct integration, but drag-and-dropping link could work (I don't remember now - as Firefox user..).
If you want to install Netscape, installer is run by ./netscape-installer in directory where you unpacked it. But I don't think you'll find it better than Opera if you find Opera better than Firefox.
Maybe User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox is what you need, because Firefox - having the same engine that moder Netscape has, and this engine evolved from older netscape engine that went open-source - should render it well. Also in Opera there is standard feature named something like 'Identify as..', and Opera does well in compatibility.
