It is worst of all. Just starting it, without opening any pages, already takes 600 Mb. It constantly accesses HDD and stops the world of garbage collection or page unloading or something. How can something be that bad?

Er, I should probably amend my last post. Obviously I'm not that optimistic. Mozilla doesn't yet have api's to expose some of the deep-dive functions that XUL could do in an insecure way. Yes, it's frustrating, but the logic is obvious. This is why we don't have addons that mess with passwords, create new UI elements, and more. However, much of the lost functionality is coming. Yes, yes, the counterargument to this would be that neglecting such features is kind of elitist, and, yes, absolutely, that is an elitist thing to do. But just because a decision doesn't mean it's wrong. The people who sincerely want those features can use a fork. ``But those projects are small, they aren't reliable." Yes, and you're also in the minority of people who ``need" those features.

Don't believe me? Mozilla published a blog post talking about api updates. Check it out for yourself--expanding on present functions, adding new functionality; e.g. they get it. Of course I want ALL of the features right out of the box, but, overall, it's a better browser the alternatives. And I won't deny that many of the addons ``ported" to WebEx are neutered. They're mostly there to hold over users until the transition is complete. I will admit that not all developers believe that to be the case, though.

It's not fun, but it's also not something to get buttmad about. ``I'm not mad. You're mad." Yes, you say you aren't mad, yet you consistently sage the thread despite the fact that you're clearly invested and contributing to the discussion. Now, I'm not a psychoanalyst or anything, but what could that suggest? Clearly you're not doing it out of politeness, or else you would be ashamed of the fact that you're even responding to me.
