    Because Firefox honestly used to be shit, especially in the early Phoenix/Firebird days, but now it isn’t anymore, and they just haven’t bothered to check it out again. The “killing all the existing extensions” thing really didn’t help matters either.

      I agree it was a heavy blow when they announced that, I didn’t update for a few months, but man was it a nice fresh start, and I’m grateful that all the addons I had before have now made it over to the new system.

      I admittedly didn’t use FF before it was FF, I think I got into it around probably 2006 or so, but it’s been great in my opinion ever since then.

      Firefox in the Phoenix/Firebird days was amazing compared to ie6, Opera, and SeaMonkey/Mozilla suite
