Firefox keeps bugs unpatched for over 9 years

To give an example, the annoying "FTP server 215 ... is currently unsupported" message. This lingers from the way the old Mozilla (pre-Firefox) recognized FTP listings.

Unsupported FTP server "xxxxxxx" after login and SYST command

Unsupported FTP server "ITRON embedded printer OS"
This bug was reported in 2003, with various duplicates since then. They know what's causing the problem. Somebody sent in a patch and they still haven't fixed it. They're more concerned with bumping up the version numbers than a few simple bug fixes.

Firefox 4 is a regression. The golden age of FF was probably somewhere around 3.x.

If there are any browser developers here: STOP FUCKING CHANGING THE UI. I'm not too bothered by implementing new HTML5 support and fixing rendering bugs etc. but this stupid retardation of the UI is the worse thing to ever happen.

Convince the users they don't need something, make them more ignorant and unaware, make them easier to control, erode their freedoms gradually. No thanks.
