It makes me wonder about their management style occasionally, like taking over two decades to fix the issue with the accidental quit shortcut on desktop. People were celebrating that it was done, but I was wondering why it hadn't been fixed earlier if it was that important (I had accidentally triggered that shortcut myself at least ten times before).
Also reminds me that their mobile division seems painfully understaffed.[1] After using Firefox Mobile for a year there still isn't even a way to search your history, along with a dozen other pain points I put up with daily. And the most painful issues I bring up are either closed or never get addressed for months, or ever. It makes Chromium-based browsers even more tempting to me, and in cases I've had no choice but to use them for things like caching bugs with stale development assets, but Chrome is really all there's left if we lose Firefox.
I really, really hope that they do not sink the current iteration of mobile Firefox. When I see resources being used on projects like these, I just wish the more pressing issues were prioritized. Firefox is the face of Mozilla.
