Are you arguing that Firefox is not even "good," or just not perfect?
(I use Firefox on a Mac all day and the only kind of "resource hunger" I've observed can be pinned to the web pages that it's running.)

For many of us it isn’t I’m saying Firefox isn’t good enough for many of us (mostly various subsets of macOS users). As for resource hunger, in my case I see it in headless mode (it always turns the fans on), but every point in that list apart from (lack of) AppleScript support was lifted from other complaints I’ve seen in similar HN threads, not my experience. Most of those problems I could live with in the name of supporting Firefox, but not the lack of AppleScript support. That seems to be the case for many of the aforementioned macOS users: we want to like Firefox, but theres a detail it screws up so bad for our needs, it becomes unusable as a daily browser.
