    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.

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

      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.
