Of course I would, but that's because I still feel some form of
emotional attachment to it. I stopped using Mozilla quite a while ago. I
prefer Epiphany, but use Firefox atm, since Ephiphany 1.5.1 (current
Hoary) has some mouse-related issues. Can't comment on Thunderbird vs.
Mozilla Mail since I don't use them.

I'm all for having just one supported browser. I just wish it was the
Gnome default one..
