Fair enough: You don't like mozilla.

I don't see this behaviour. In fact, I have a (slow download)
partially loaded page in front of me right now... You didn't

There are things I hate about mozilla, and I would be the first to
rant about how bad they are, if provoked - I just don't happen to think
your objections are, well, verifiably correct: Basically you hate mozilla,
for whatever reason, good or bad, and refuse to compare it to anything
similar. I think I'll walk away from this discussion now, my asbestos
underpants are at the dry-cleaners...
