Wow, this brings back memories. Years ago, the persistence of this particular bug led me to believe that Firefox was "buggy" and "messy". It broke any perception in my mind that Firefox is an elegant tool. It hit whatever that cognitive bias is [cit needed] that tells us "if it can't get simple things right, what else is it getting wrong?" or perhaps "beauty good / ugly bad".
I'm older now and have Experience(TM). I know that:
a) many expensive commercial tools are far less elegant and just plain broken (looking at you Autodesk AutoCAD and Revit since 2010s)
b) my own idiocy/ignorance has larger-than-expected extents
I wonder if I'm just jaded. Is it correct to believe that Firefox is "good" software? Is it what it is designed to be?
