It became clear to me with the recent layoffs.
Their strategy to grow their user share seemed twofold: better tech (through Servo/Rust) and dev-oriented features (their market share among devs was much higher than among the general population).
They cut deeply into both of these.
- pygy_ 6y agoAdding to this: Getting back dev mindshare was IMO critical for their success. 90% of https://webcompat.com/ https://webcompat.com/ is sites that are broken in Firefox, not necessarily because FF isn't standard compliant, but because many Web devs just dont bother testing their sites/apps with it anymore. As for better tech I suppose they chose a 80/20 approach, but I'm not sure it will suffice.
