But their 'idiosyncratic aesthetic' helps navigating. In the mozilla world, they know their aesthetics ('not invented here'), because its their everyday job and can always work hands on and naturally can be faster. While in the distribution world, where a lot of software comes together, its good that i can find everything in common/familiar places.

Not easy to find a good middle ground and still supporting progress.

/Applications/Fiefox.app. Not that hard and not unfamiliar, really. (Not saying Linux distorts should adopt /Applications. My point is it’s not hard to have a consistent and self-contained experience, and AFAIK there are several competing bundle formats on Linux already.)
