So, if I'm following your logic here, you're stating that Firefox is not salvageable?
I believe one of the problems they have is that they have never done the same kind of ground-up rewrite, they still have patches on their patches and are still struggling with layer after layer of "if 2+2=5 then answer=4" cruft. Then again, they've never really shown any interest in fixing bugs or problems with the infrastructure. Mozilla/Mozaic/Firefox is all about features!!!
