Good luck with that. I'm concerned that Firefox is suffering issues
similar to OpenSSL in its size and cross-platform support and
backwards compatibility. It's doing too many things, across to many
platforms, with way, way too many non-critical features encumbering
the codebase to be stable anymore.

I'm looking at the Bugzilla for Firefox. A look for open bugs reports
"NEW" bugs that are 7 years old, and approximately 10,000 bugs,
including those for Firefox for other platforms, and getting the full
list generates the message "This list is too long for Bugzilla's
little mind; the Next/Prev/First/Last buttons won't appear on
individual bugs."

That's never a good sign, even on a big open source project.
