Actually part of me actually agrees (Without reading the article), the
Latest version of Firefox (3.0) has serious flaws.

1. You can only run it once at a time,
2. If your machine get switched off or firefox is not closed
"correctly" firefox will not start again with out removing some very
difficult to find lock files.
3. If you do remove these locks you will lose all your bookmarks and
the url bar will stop working properly.
4. Its written in probably the worst scripting language ever invented,
If it was pure Javascript it would be better.

But IE is no better really, just with different failings....
