I am going to add something of a twist to your argument. Many people use Firefox and certainly don't think its crap. Having said that, one man's meat is another man's poison. I happen to think IE is not a very good browser
in the face of the competition. In itself, there is nothing wrong with IE, it just lacks in features compared to some other browsers
You claim Firefox is unknown to the majority of internet users and hence fewer bugs are found. I put it to you though, that people who tend to know about and install Firefox are more technically minded than the ignorant, and so have better skills which can be used to find bugs and submit them. Once Firefox 1.0 hits the shelves, I assure you there will be a wave of advertisement, and larger numbers of people will be willing to give it a try. By then, hopefully the more experienced users will have worked most of the bugs out of the system
Might I just ask, which flaws are troubling you the most? What bugs are people really so annoyed about, it stops them giving Firefox a fair chance?
