Mozilla may be the first html browser to support opacity (although it
has been in much earlier versions);its certainly not the first
implementation to support opacity.

See which implementations supported it in Oct 2001 here
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/BE-ImpStatus-20011026.html
and in Aug 2003 here

Good to see tests being submitted.

There was nothing under the div, so its hard to tell if it really is
50% opaque. Could I suggest a background image on an enclosing,
slightly larger div? Or alternatively, an inline image of the same
color as (50% opaque white composited on the blue background color).

I would also suggest putting opacity on a child of the div
class="testop" as well, to ensure that the opacity multiplies
correctly.
