Firefox has lost a lot of market share to Chrome (something like 30% vs. 14%). Internet Explorer has too. Considering Google only launched a browser in '08, it's pretty impressive they're at something like 50%.
Mozilla is still doing a lot of awesome stuff (web assembly, rust, servo, etc...), and I personally still choose Firefox over Chromium. As a user, I do have complaints about the direction on a number of things though.
One of the simpler things I'm surprised I haven't seen yet is a decent native text editor, considering how much relies on editing text in a browser.

If you consider that Microsoft has nearly the same magnitude resources, and their own widely deployed platform their browser is pre-installed on, it doesn't seem like a trivial accomplishment. Firefox also had a bigger market share than Microsoft.
