> . Firefox no longer has the market power it once used to have thanks to Chrome being bundled and installed by default with Flash, Acrobat and Java updates etc.

Firefox also went through a very long period of being a memory heavy browser with multiple tabs and the UI sharing a single thread of execution for JS execution - meaning that one badly behaving website could render the entire browser unresponsive.

...at least that's why I stopped using it.



I love the person who downvoted this without any response. Am I wrong about the technical challenges Firefox faced?
