That's a bit harsh. Every point they raised is valid: the UX changes have been weird and inconsistent, the lack of history searching is frustrating etc I still use ff, I certainly won't be using Chrome as I appreciate my add-ons too much.
Calling ff a mess is worse, as someone that absolutely hates ads it's a godsend.
I'm perfectly happy with Firefox, both desktop and mobile. It works very well and I never have problems with it. It blocks ads on mobile and chrome doesn't. As far as I have seen, it's fast. I don't notice a difference on the rare occasion I open chromium to check and see that some application will look the same for a client as it does for me. But I guess it's always true: people go out of their way to complain, but…
> I should write a "I'm perfectly happy with Firefox, happier than I would be with any other browser" blog post and see if it gets any attention. And here I was thinking the post missed a lot of issues maybe I should create another blog post. Stop defending something that really has issues. This fanboy behaviour ends up hurting the very thing we love.
-block ads
-modify default text size (so I could read websites like old.reddit.com without having to zoom in)

Some corners of the internet got annoyed a women was working as a programmer for Mozilla and took things a bit too far. Turns out it gets dug up by the same haters under every post about Firefox.
Anyone using Firefox on Android knows exactly what this person is talking about. This was my last straw before uninstalling Firefox for good.
And yet even with all these complaints the product has tens of millions of happy users and is growing month over month.
Mozilla would instantly recover a ton of goodwill by allowing users to install any WebExtension on Firefox for Android without having to go through a strange activation ritual that only works on the Nightly channel.* Considering how stable the extensions have been for me, I'm baffled at how Mozilla is not even letting the Beta channel test them. * https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extensio...

I'm not in that camp. I simply genuinely dislike FF mobile now, when it used to be the best browser available on Android.
