I wish I could say that what follows is sarcastic, but it isn't. As far as I am concerned, Firefox is already obsolete. Any project that has a serious bug like this that lasts for 11 years cannot be taken seriously. Combined with the recent trend to "rapid releases", better described as "constantly broken"; and the attempt to turn it into a visual clone of Chrome, I decided to just use Chrome instead.
