Not a one. Have run it for years and years and years, overloaded with extensions. It has never failed me.
But this! The post outlines a three year timeframe. I do not believe it. I believe Mozilla will be gone before three years, and Thunderbird with it, one way or the other.

- interfixus 10y agoThey are rewriting Firefox out of any relevance. They had a distinct product with unique features. It has been loosing uniqueness, usability and mindshare ever since they began shadowing everything the Google guys did. Now they're going all in, turning the thing into a functional Chrome clone. Once the user base drops below a certain percentage, there will be no point for anyone in sponsoring the show any longer. Me, I was a loyal user since the Phoenix days. I have recently Firefox. It is not unusable yet, but it will be in about half a year.
- JadeNB 10y agoI also started with Phoenix, and I share your dissatisfaction with the direction of Firefox; but its transformation into a Chrome clone, while regrettable, is not a new thing. Is there some recent change that you think makes the dissolution of Mozilla (not just the Firefox project!) particularly likely?
