SSL and (not stated before) Java support _are_ mission-critical for a
browser. Neither have at any time worked reliably (under Linux,
anyway) in Mozilla up to now (except perhaps for a short time in the
0.6 timeframe).
The worst thing is proxy support. I've already lost hope that it will
ever work right (see recent SSL breakage, over and over again - bug
74963 and already many duplicates, of course UNCONFIRMED status
ensures that it will take some time until the right people even
notice). And without proxy support I can not access any web page at
all.
Add to this absolutely sucky UI performance (not that it _is_ slow,
but it _feels_ slow, and NC4.7 by stopwatch measure is much slower but
you don't have to wait for sometimes more than a second until it
repaints after changing windows - comments in bug 61942 clearly state
that this can't and won't be fixed due to deep architectural
problems). I tend to count acceptable performance as mission-critical
as well, for any sort of application.
