Not only Mozilla, but also most other web browser software is terrible. I currently use an old version of Firefox (with many hacks, including configuration changes in about:config, CSS and JavaScript codes, hex editing binaries, changing SQL schemas, changes to file permissions, and more), but wrote about many idea how to make better software than all of the existing ones. I design by the principles such as:
* Assume the user knows what they are doing, and really mean to override anything. Do not try to outguess the user.
* By default, assume that the remote server (and the data received from the remote server) is hostile (even if it is HTTPS).
* You have enough ropes to hang yourself, and also a few more just in case.
* Make every program a filter.
