For myself, as up until recently an only-FF user, FF needs to up their embeddability game. Many people are using Chromium outside of Chrome and that number is growing as more and more custom UIs are being built around existing browsers. Some apps are using things like Electron and some are using things like CEF. Servo has a stated goal of embedding via CEF, but it's not here yet.
I think if Gecko had an easy to use C API and prebuilt binaries to download to link with your app, you could see an uptick in FF usage. I'm familiar w/ past attempts/work at doing this, but it needs to be real, supported effort. Until then, I remain a Chrome (...er...Chromium) user (of course, I am not representative and maybe the ROI on embedding isn't worth it).
