No, they don’t. But they also don’t listen to people who’d have FF still be the slow-as-molasses version with XUL it used to be.

- xdfgh1112 4y agoI remember when Firefox first came out and it was so much faster than Mozilla at the time. Not sure what happened.
- Semaphor 4y agoThan Mozilla? You mean than Netscape?
- xdfgh1112 4y agoThe original Mozilla browser that came out of Netscape. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Application_Suite https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Application_Suite It had a reputation for being slow and bloated at the time which prompted the creation of a slimmed down browser, Phoenix which eventually became Firefox
- Semaphor 4y agoOh wow, I’m not even sure if I ever used that. I do remember Phoenix, but this barely rings a bell. And towards your question: Different times. Both hardware and browser capabilities were vastly different back then, so some technological choices made in the early days might have made more sense. For me personally, I know that back in the day I was a lot more forgiving of delays than I am now.
