Making Firefox non-sucky? Isn't https://github.com/servo/servo good enough for you? Creating a new programming language and using it to build a modern browser rendering engine? I understand that Mozilla is going lots of different directions with its projects but come on, they can't be accused of not putting the effort to make the web better.

Servo has nothing to do with Firefox.

You're right, I stand corrected.

I was under the impression that Servo would end up being the web browser engine powering newer versions of Firefox (or any other flagship Mozilla browsers to be) and from my more extensive reading after reading your comment, I appear to be mistaken.

The underlying point I was making though (if it still stands) is that the good folks at Mozilla are not exactly sitting on their collective ass, they are in fact trying really hard (and the bleeding edge way) to make the web better.

I never claimed that they're sitting on their collective ass. They're certainly trying to make the web better, but by running in a million directions at once (due to the lack of direction) they end up going nowhere.

And Phoenix had nothing to do with SeaMonkey. Funny how things work out.
