Rust seems to be the only positive thing out of Mozilla these days. I don't know how much of that was a coincidence. They've become some sort of an ethics firm that they front with their dying browser. A little like AOL being reduced to a web portal long after their Netscape days. It's unfortunate because they really can't afford to compete with Google and continue with Servo or anything innovative. They lost the race in browser performance and usershare. The only way I could imagine Firefox regaining the latter would be a political event of the popularity and significance of Net Neutrality "scaring straight" non-technical users into FOSS.
