Which ones are you talking about? I'm talking about Firefox, not the Mozilla Corp to be clear.
People have problems with what they choose to program, not the quality of their code. I too have used FF since the beginning, but switched to Waterfox last year (it took me about two years to make that decision - I didn't make it lightly). I chose WF in large part because its profile remains compatible with FF so I can switch back if they calm the F down and start acting normal again for long enough to rebuild some trust.

Also go to the website of any one of the FF forks and read their reasons for existing. For example:
