  Mozilla is a perfect example of enormous code bloat resulting from
programmers trying to impress each other by being "cute" or "clever".
The major issue, I suspect, is lots of JavaScript.  Not Java, but
JavaScript.  There's TONS of interpreted JavaScript embedded in the
Mozilla binary.

  That said, Mozilla is still my default browser.
