I'm guessing that I'm not the only reader here old enough to remember 1999-2001 US vs Microsoft [1], and who celebrated when Judge Jackson colorfully told MS to stop beating a dead horse [2], and who was sad at the successful appeal of the verdict against MS. We rooted for the small upstart fighting entrenched big tech, and later cheered with Netscape Navigator was open-sourced, starting the path to Firefox.
I admit that I'm not using Firefox by default now (when I've used it, it worked fine), but it seems that many others here have real gripes with how Firefox works as a default browser, and are basically saying "Mozilla can blame themselves for being marginal".
Can someone ELI5 what Mozilla did to deserve this derision?
Also MDN is an awesome and invaluable resource [3].
