Cuz Firefox was for a long time just some shiiiiiiit. It was overloaded, blocky, seemed outdated etc., so ie wasn't any worse. When chrome came, whooo.

Now tho, I am simply still prejudiced against it. And I found Edge suits me ideally so I don't care for any other browser. Until my adblock stops working, then I'll run.

I also left Firefox for Chrome many years ago during that time period, but Firefox has been good again for quite some time. They did a big refresh called Quantum several years back and solved most of those issues. Give it a try.

They also solved the "issue" of XULRunner and all associated functionality, not offering anything instead.

I had to move from conkeror, and now jump between FF and SeaMonkey. The latter lags behind a bit in porting FF functionality.

To each his own, I guess.
