"Firefox isn't a bad browser as such. I used it for over 10 years (before it was even 2.0). But I switched to a different browser just because Firefox' stupid changes that messed up my setting over and over again.<br>All I wanted is a UI and settings that are <b>not</b> changed by an update (eg. new tab page", enlarging url bar, enlarged tab bar, etc. that does not hinder the rest of the code in any way). The adoption of the Chrome style file was not a bad idea, but if you need it to change certain settings that have no value except being incredibly ugly (eg. the enlarging url bar) I don't see any real effort by Mozilla to stay in the game. All they did is to make the browser worse and worse over time without giving a fuck about consistency or adaptability. Firefox once was a highly customisable browser that worked very well. Now with their everlasting changes with each version, you better use a dice to browse the web because it is less stupidly random than Firefox.<br>So falling usage numbers is only the very thing they worked for so hard - and in my opinion it is more than well deserved.<br>To me Firefox is like a good old friend that started drinking at some point. At the beginning you can forgive him a lot, but the more he drinks the more stupid stuff he does. At some point you have to turn your back on him to avoid being struck by his actions. It hurts a bit to see him go downhill with each day, but your options are very limited and if he does not want to take help there is nothing you can do!
