Add-ons were certainly a big part of it. Firefox 15 fixed most of the add-on problems, see here: https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2012/07/19/firefox-15-plugs-the-add-on-leaks/ https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2012/07/19/firefox-15-p... But there were plenty of other problems fixed too. See https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/category/memshrink/ https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/category/memshrink/ for lots of details. With that in mind, in the future perhaps you could think twice before posting snarky comments based on your experiences from five years ago.

With that in mind, in the future perhaps you could think twice before posting snarky comments based on your experiences from five years ago. In a rational universe that would be a reasonable request. Too bad we don't live in a rational universe. Bad experiences weigh much more heavily on us than good experiences. For example, there is a chain of stores I won't go to, because I bought some inferior products from them over 35 years ago. Is that rational? No. But it is human nature.
