Yes, but this particular part of Liam's reply refers to Bret. Liam
isn't talking about you.

Some of us (I'm one of them) suspect that the issues Bret experience
are not caused by software such as e.g. Firefox.

IMO Bret's approach trying to fix issues, is the cause for more
trouble. IOW my guess is, that the issue with Firefox is a symptom of
an underlying issue.
