一个读者在我的帖子《当Firefox崩溃时》后面留言说：
Firefox就象一匹野马，能者才能驾驭。
Firefox扩展的优劣到底能不能责怪到Firefox上，就象Windows病毒的责任能不能责怪到Windows上一样。
扩展够用就行了，不用太花哨了。
我一下子就想起了Firefox的开发负责人Ben Goodger的一段话，他说：
Geeky?
There have been a number of discussions going on in the blogosphere in the past week or two about Firefox and a perceived "geek" factor. No software is perfect, and Firefox has its share of rough edges and power user features - but fundamentally it is simple, usable software.
Before going on about how geeky Firefox is, try disabling all your extensions, your user stylesheet additions and return to the default state. A relatively simple, clean UI with less clutter than a number of other major browsers - a UI that my mother, other people's mothers, pastors, accountants, doctors, children and other non-technical people use. So before condemning Firefox as a geek toy, step back and ask yourself: did you make it that way?
如果一种软件，是为勇士们开发的，也许可以成为一个卖点，但它肯定成不了今天的Firefox。Firefox把自己定位为IE的替代者，那么它的目标一定是简单、可用，就像Ben所说的。
