Internet Explorer 6
Follow John Haller's Guide to making Firefox look like IE. Then, get the User Agent Switcher and change it to Internet Explorer 6 (Windows XP). Next, get Mozilla ActiveX Plugin. It won't work with all sites, but... For those that it doesn't, use IETab. Voila! You can try out a portable version at http://www.eggdisk.com/files/30361_zakhn/Internet%20Explorer%20Portable.zip.
Opera
Use the Opera Theme for Firefox first. Eventually, you'll have a BitTorrent client for Firefox, but its not out yet. AdblockPlus is a TON more better than Opera's content blocking. Firefoxit is a widget platform for Firefox, much like Opera's. User Agent Switcher works just as well as Opera's. DownThemAll is the equivalent to Opera's download manager. The All-In-One-Sidebar is the sidebar extension for Firefox users. Mouse Gestures or All in One Gestures are good for mouse gestures. There is a Rewind/Fastforward Button extension. Session Manager is good if you don't like Firefox 2.0's new session manager. Firevox is a great screenreader (as is FoxyVoice, but it is not compatible with 1.5 or 2.0). ChatZilla is a great IRC IM. Greasemonkey is a great user scripts manager. InterNote is a great sticky notes program, and the HTML Validator is a great HTML validator. For themes, see Mozdev's theme page. And for feeds, Sage is the best (unless you use Google Reader, then you should get Iris). ReloadEvery adds a nice reloading feature to FFX. Add Bookmark Here is also a nice Operay touch that got put into an FFX extension. Oldie Opera users will also want Adbar (don't ask). Minimize to tray is also a nice extension for Opera users. Don't forget ImgLikeOpera. Now all you need is an email client, which Firefox doesn't have (there is a sister project called Thunderbird though).
Netscape
Netscape really doesn't have a ton of features except for their IE integration. For that, use IETab. You can get Netscape themes by doing a search at Mozilla for Netscape in the themes section.
Flock
Flock is basically Firefox with a few addons. First, get the FloFox theme. Then, get ImageBot or Pickupt Photo Uploader. For blogging, use JustBlogIt, DeepestSender, or Performancing. Bookmarkers, use Foxylicious, del.icio.us bookmarks, GMarks or Foxmarks. For feed reading, see the Opera section.
NOTE: SOME EXTENSIONS, SUCH AS IETAB, ARE ONLY FOR A SPECIFIC PLATFORM
