&gt; In a few years the all new HTML Firefox will come out. My bet is that it will suck. It will lack a TON of features that the existing Firefox has, but hey, it&#x27;s all HTML!<p>&gt; As much as people complain about XUL not looking native, wait for HTML Firefox, it will take them forever to get where XUL was years ago.<p>And isn&#x27;t Mozilla&#x2F;Netscape <i>literally</i> the poster child for how to destroy your product with a rewrite?  They only regained their market share because Microsoft let IE stagnate to a ridiculous degree.<p>&gt; But now they know that only 10 million or even 1 million people use that feature, and they&#x27;re only interested in 100 million user features! If Google Chrome doesn&#x27;t have it, it must not be important!<p>I&#x27;ve pretty much only stuck with Firefox because of its extensions and the quirky little features it has.  The more they focus on aping Chrome, the more they decrease the friction for switching away to it.
