Yeah Firefox is definitely overloaded. The thing is video should be separated out altogether, use VLC directly instead, and that should be a direction for the future. Firefox has porting problems with simple systems too. They could use a little rethinking, and a sensible optional version system. Anybody here old enough to remember the beginning of Mozilla? Syncing accounts and devices was always a bad idea too, and still is, and it should really be an optional glob. Not something you use or don't use with the weight still there. In general web browsers have gotten bloated, mostly because of security, video, and android devices. The little woman has four devices synced to her Windows box, and plays games sequentially on all of them, facebooks, and shops too. I think it's a little crazy, and stupidly insecure, but her credit card is her own not joint, so I just chuckle, and play with bash on her machine in the morning before she gets up. I can float her a loan if I have to. She's worn out two tablets and three android phones in three years. I still use an alcatel flip phone bluetoothed via wammu to SMS from my laptop. It's worth remembering, when clouds start to gather there's usually a storm on the way.
