The point is that Firefox 2 became too bloated for its time and it never felt like it got debloated after that even things progressed. I remember these days clearly because Firefox 1 was very fast and it displaced Mozilla (what was later called "Mozilla Suite") as the main browser for the Mozilla Foundation exactly because of that performance benefit. However Firefox 2 not only ended up becoming much slower but Mozilla Suite actually became faster and ended up being faster than Firefox despite providing not only a browser, but also a mail client, news client, WYSIWYG editor, IRC client, etc - ie an integrated "internet client". At the time i liked Mozilla more than Firefox so i was bitter about it and how it was eventually abandoned by Mozilla Foundation (it became Seamonkey, sure, but that is another story).
