Except that it couldn't work in today's world, as more and more web sites would stop working in Firefox. Firefox needs significant market share to survive with an independent browser engine. Having an independent engine is key to achieving Mozilla's mission: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/
You can build a browser focused on power users if you don't need to worry about the engine. Perhaps you want to take a look at Vivaldi?

Problems started when it stopped being a browser for programmers and power users. They were the ones marketing it. Mozilla cut the branch on which they were sitting and is now shocked that they lose maretshare.
