I believe one of the problems they have is that they have never done the same 
kind of ground-up rewrite, they still have patches on their patches and are 
still struggling with layer after layer of "if 2+2=5 then answer=4" cruft.  
Then again, they've never really shown any interest in fixing bugs or 
problems with the infrastructure.  Mozilla/Mozaic/Firefox is all about 
features!!!
