It reminds me of the Firefox users who to this day view Mozilla with contempt for having deprecated old add-ons or some barely used feature (highly recommend reading your average pale moon user's reaction when pale moon does the same)

At some point, Mozilla changed from being about the users to being about Mozilla Corp. So yes, I will continue to view Mozilla with hostility until the day they die. Firefox (and Thunderbird) needs new management.

Right? How dare those users be upset at their workflow being broken? Everyone knows that if you can't write code, you should have no expectation of software ever working for you! After all, the only other way to ever have any legitimate opinion about any product ever is if you're paying for it, but we conveniently fix that problem by making it literally impossible to pay for Firefox! Why can't the users just shut up and be grateful for the features that haven't yet been ripped out? (/s)

Seeing how many people stopped using Firefox, maybe they have a point?

  Firefox decline was way before add-ons deprecation, it more or less started with Chrome being a few versions in due to simple configuration, streamlined ui, increased security and most importantly performance.

I don't feel any contempt for Mozilla but at the same time Firefox was never as enjoyable to use once it began chasing Chrome. I would put the high water mark at Firefox 3.6.n. Generally speaking, FireFox still retains most of the same features, it's just harder to configure it to be well-behaved (tab bar on the side was a native Firefox preference originally- now it is a real learning experience to set up). There is also a lot of stuff bundled and enabled with Firefox by default that ought not be included at all (WTF is a "pocket"?).

  I use Firefox since it was Phoenix, back on my Windows 2003 and except there was time when it was noticeable slow so I was forced to use Chrome/IE I hardly can find things to complain about regarding changes. I see other people complain a lot, which makes me think I'm missing some big part/have some unusual usage for Firefox. Any hints what I may be missing/doing strange way?
