Looking at FF v2, I'd say it had a lot of the user interface and
configurability _more_ right than the current versions. But it was
already slow and clunky compared to Dillo, Links, etc., and I'd
guess already vastly more complex.

It's with the browser engine where development money matters
though, which now boils down to keeping up with whatever features
Google adds to Chrome.
