errrr... not sure I understand correctly what you mean with "bugs and speed", specifically "since quantum".

I remember that the day that Quantum released, I suddenly got DMs from my non-tech friends who announced that they had installed/updated FF, and were happy how incredibly fast it was. I remember that because those were people who would usually roll their eyes if I mentioned anything software related in a conversation.

> [since quantum] They really did fix most of the bugs and speed...

I mean that pre-quantum it was slow and buggy. Post quantum it is fast and not buggy.

Perhaps my experience or usage of the browser was different from most, but I would not characterize my experience with Firefox pre-Quantum as "slow and buggy". I rarely noticed bugs and it always seemed to be as fast as Chrome was. Granted, I did have ad-blockers installed and I never ran benchmarks but I never noticed much of a difference.
