"A big goal of Mozilla is to try implementing difficult ECMAScript features, helping to lead other browsers by example." Whether or not Mozilla is focusing on "difficult" JavaScript features (and I don't think they are), they're focusing on the wrong features. By and large, the things that will make JavaScript more useful to people are features that we simply can't work around. Access to webcams or local storage, cross-domain xmlhttprequests (actually coming in firefox 3), better support for canvas, etc. I'd much rather have JavaScript 1.5 and get features that would enable me to do new things than to have generators or getters/setters. I couldn't care less about things like "let" scoping.
