I am starting to feel firefox in a serious way. But im just sooo concerned that their software still sucks. I mean, we ARE talking about a company who thought it was smart to spend time trying to build a javascript OS for mobile. So let me ask again. When are you guys going to start building firefox from the ground up and make the perfect browser we all deserve? And if you disagree, please. Present your arguments. I am the person you need to sell right now.

Building the perfect browser from the ground up? Do you remember netscape?

They've started on it, it's called Servo. But webstandards are evolving faster than modern browsers are, so building a browser from the ground up would require quite a bit more money, and worse know-how - you can't just buy that in unlimited amounts, than they have for Firefox right now, and they can't exactly stop developing Firefox in the meantime either. Also, their three big competitors have most of their browser market share thanks to building an operating system underneath it. No matter how slim Mozilla's chances at success were, it would've been foolish to not try to get into the operating system market. And they built it based on web technologies, because that's where they have know-how.
