Raised as a usability problem by 32 people on Hacker News over 18 years (2009–2026), in 29 threads.
This is a broad category rather than one product, so its issues aren't ranked on the home page.
People raised many different problems with Mozilla, but no single problem has yet been raised by 3 people in 3 different months and threads.
Unreviewed issues were grouped by machine: Claude Haiku labelled each comment as a usability complaint, named what it's about and summed up the problem in a line, and a small model grouped similar problems. Nobody has checked them by hand. Expect mistakes.
