I don't think you're being fair. I'm seeing a lot of improvements from Firefox, outside of their vastly improved developer tools and tracking prevention.
* They've been working on multi-process Firefox,
enabled in developer edition [1]
* They've been beating Chrome's JS Engine in the
benchmarks (not to mention IE) [2]
* They've been implementing more and more of HTML5, about
81% of the way there according to [3]
* Firefox supports more ES6 features than Chrome [4]
I guess I'm seeing a lot of good progress coming from the Firefox team.
