Firefox download status: Downloading 200 KB per second, 2 MB remaining, expected done in 10 seconds.
15 minutes later: Still downloading 200 KB every second, still 2 MB remaining.
Curl, on the other hand, seems trustworthy. If it says the download will be done in 10 seconds, it’s either done in 10 seconds, or the download speed will drop to zero.
Firefox and curl never felt similar.

Seems to me they have had a strategy since Firefox 4:
1: Move as many users to Chrome as possible.
2: Pull all value out of the company.
3: Let the remains burn.
