During the years Firefox made that much steps into the wrong
direction, that I'm surprised that a user still cares that much about
new issues introduced by a Firefox update.

One of the most worse steps IMO was the step that after selecting a
link in the history, the cursor in the history does lose focus. IOW if
you searched an hour to find a segment with several wanted links, after
clicking one link, the selection gets lost and you need to search
again. I'm not aware of any other browser with this abstruse behaviour.

Many other users dislike that they need to check about:config against
google safebrowsing spyware again and again.
