Sadly, this describes it perfectly.  Why?  The maintainers not only
don't give a shit about the users (check the Mozilla discusion threads
if you don't believe that), but when they're not busy ruining FF, they
are working hard to dumb it down to their own level of moronity.

I think it peaked around v17 (an extended support release).  Or, it
was still bearable then.  I've kept that one, but I don't often use
it.
