There are still lots of little UI infelicities in Firefox's dialogs; the bookmark manager feels more awkward to manipulate than Safari's, in ways that would probably take lengthy studies for me to articulate precisely. But the basic browsing experience is pretty good.
In some ways purity comes into conflict with ease of use. I personally prefer Firefox's slightly more complicated font settings to Safari's, but that is mostly because I am an old CSS geek and recognize that Firefox's settings map directly to the concept of CSS generic font families, so it's obvious to me how they are supposed to work. Any normal person would probably be baffled by the existence of separate serif and sans-serif font settings.
As a fellow CSS geek, I know what you mean. In fact it seems like the only way to arrange them, and the older ways seem completely wrong and unhelpful.
