  It's well-intentioned bashing if you want to slap a label on it. I am one of the few that still use Firefox, I've used it since the beginning more or less and the memory leaks issue you attempt to downplay was a very real issue that plagued the browser for so long when Chrome came along and sanboxed everything, separate process and was super fast people jumped ship faster than the Titanic. The argument of turning around someone's opinion and asking how they would fix and maintain the problem is an exhausted counterargument that has no validity. It wasn't the Mozilla team didn't have the smarts to fix the memory leaks, it's the fact they denied there was even a problem for so long. It's all about prioritising what you work on. So if I had any involvement in Mozilla and Firefox's development, I would be prioritising what's important and what isn't. This place has really changed. You can't give your opinion on something without being down-voted into oblivion, even if your opinion is well-intentioned and constructive. My comment wasn't negative, it was my opinion. I didn't bash anyone, I'm sick of this place misconstruing other peoples comments (a frequent occurrence from what I've noticed).
