Mozilla set its stuff up before Facebook (2004) even existed, let alone Phabricator.
Bugzilla (1998) predates Phabricator (2010) by about 12 years. It was written in Perl, which was the popular language at the time (similar to PHP around when Facebook happened, or JavaScript now). The first versions of Firefox (2002) predate Phabricator by about 8 years.

- riffraff 10y agoIf you think bugzilla is better than everything that came after (e.g. trac, jira, redline, phabricator etc) it would be interesting to know why. I feel it's functional but not great.

Not to mention it is written in Java and as a result has quite heavy requirements on the CPU and RAM. Upside: it is extremely flexible in ticket workflow design.
