Yeah, Mozilla killed it out of concerns that there was only one implementation (which admittedly has some quirks)...so the question was, do we standardize SQLite and all its quirks? That didn't seem like a good option to them. Plus this is the heyday of nosql fanboi-ism, so you have all the sheep at mozilla clamoring for NoSQL in the browser. "Devs don't want SQL" Mozilla said. It's hard to say which reason was more compelling for Mozilla, but my gut feeling is that they were betting hard on NoSQL and came up with convenient technical justifications afterwards.
