Chrome and Android have version numbers. Not only is Chrome a faster,
more compliant browser that mozilla is attempting to clone badly by
removing features and breaking plugins, and not only is Android more
important than anything the Mozilla Foundation is doing, they both are
the reference use of continuous integration.

Firefox has been hijacked by second tier leaders and developers. As a
long time user, this software is approaching irrelevant at a speed
I've not seen before. Choices like this are a big reason.

Firefox has become a slower, less compliant substandard clone-attempt
at chrome and they are doing this "clone" effort by breaking plugins
and removing features that made firefox more interesting to use in the
first place.
