>There are memory bugs that have been open in bugzilla for years

As one of those who used to love Firefox (back when it was marketed as being "light and fast") and now has switched to Chrome, I think this is really where the hate towards Firefox comes from. Mozilla apparently makes enough money that they can continually increase the scope of their company, while at the same time years-old memory bugs are left to linger.

Firefox became popular precisely because they were the anti-microsoft and anti-netscape browser. They have succeeded in taking netscape's place as the slow bloated web browser.
