Remove then.

Should probably be renamed _firefox with any mozilla specifics stripped.
Seamonkey may still exist but I doubt much of the completion still
applies. The remote API was X specific and that all went from firefox at
some point. Now mostly useful for -P and -ProfileManager.

I can't find it either but given that they seem to have adopted systemd,
I doubt it.

Could be best to offer the completion upstream to them. If they decline,
I'd not feel guilty about removing it.

Seems to be in pkgsrc and the AUR. So fine, leave for now.

These are more a problem for either their licence or low quality than
the state of the upstream project.

I did check when I got access to AIX 7 and it seemed like they were all
still applicable if missing some newer options. I won't be going to the
effort of updating them but wouldn't remove them yet either. At least
these can be excluded by packagers - and some do.
