more bureaucratic BS. Christ just concentrate on making a good browser for a change instead of always chasing the new shinny approach they have taken the last few years. Making changes for nothing but messing the users about as far as I can tell, it is just sad the state of development these days.
I agree Happy. I am still using Firefox as my primary browser but I miss the "old days" when Firefox was young, mean, and lean.
Caveat.... Of course the following is only my opinion... and feel free to disagree and call me out on errors and overly harsh or judgmental tones.
Truth be told:
I use FF because it's really the only useable FOSS browser available.
Chromium is not so great. Chrome is not FOSS. Opera is not great. Epiphany is terrible [sorry Gnome people, but it is] There are several other browsers, but most are very feature poor...
FF is really the only option for Desktop GNU/Linux people who don't wish to support the new evil empire ... i.e. Google.
Mozilla has some other products, but I don't use them.
I tried to like Thunderbird, but I simply do not like email 'clients' that are actually slightly modified browsers. I used Seamonkey for a while to design stuff, but then I discovered I actually don't like WYSIWYG web design. The result is usually quite poor and needs enough tweaking to justify rewriting the product in Bluefish editor instead.
So... all in all.. I agree...
Mozilla: Build a good browser and forget the rest. It's too bad you fired the good leader you had a few years ago over a minor external philosophical spat. And I will probably use his product instead when it is fully useable.

That's the leanest and meanest email client.

There are times when I use Palemoon, Chromium, Qupzilla, and Midori, but I still do use Firefox the most for now.
