I'm completely fine with people admiring all three for their good. In fact, I do so. But I'm critical of one taking different stances just because of the people involved and not based on the merit of the discussion. You can see this contradiction occasionally in HN.

That's a feature of HN, not of Firefox. There's a delay before the "reply" link appears, and the delay is longer the deeper the thread is nested, to prevent fast back and forth comments degenerating into arguments, I believe.
As for the comments at the bottom of that page, you're absolutely right, and I unfortunately overestimated the quality of the discussion in this thread. All the more reason to avoid the bottom of the comment page on stories with hundreds of comments.
