  "Firefox is already a leader in foundational qualities like speed and privacy" Incorrect? Firefox's default settings run obscure and opaque studies, collect data, save browser passwords and data by default. This is both a privacy and security issue out of the box. Malware can simply copy and upload all of it. Recently there was the courtroom software fake 'fffmpeg.exe' hack that accomplished that. Firefox should be looked at like software components. Modules that can be used by other projects. Chromium did this which spawned Node.js, Electron. I would very much like to use firefox's tech in my software, but I can't! It's actually easier to compile WebKit to all platforms than to even try. I hope the best for Mozilla, and perhaps going forward they can figure out how to focus on engineering and next gen.
