Apologies for the lag; I let my mailbox back up.

Granted, I haven't tried mozilla since M14 or so, but I was pretty
underwhelmed.  Major problems:

1) The default web page, www.mozilla.org/, was rendered in Flyspeck 3, and
   I couldn't change this.  Any attempt crashed the browser.  I'm already
   nearsighted; don't make the problem worse.

2) Window resizing failed.  By default, it started out at about 1/2 of my
   screen; I prefer larger.  If I used my WM controls to resize the window,
   the window resized, but its contents didn't---there was a large blank
   area along the bottom and right.

Have they fixed these problems yet?
