Tbh, I'm not really sure what you mean. The Firefox browser seems really solid. It passes most all benchmarks on WPT. It's also very focused on compatibility which chrome and safari often have problems with. There's plenty of stuff (e.g. grid) that they've been ahead of the curve on. As a developer I can also say that the FF devtools are by far my favorite to use
What exactly is the issue with FF? I think their loss of market share has a lot more to do with exactly the stuff you're telling them not to focus on. The competitors have OSes (e.g. macOS, Android, Windows, ChromeOS) that heavily push defaults or sometimes even force it (e.g. iOS).
For browsers like FF, Opera, or Brave, there's already a bar of people having to go out of their way to download them. They have a "third party" feel to them

Inevitably what happens when a company has such a strong monopoly is a recession or downturn comes along and the first thing they cut/deprioritize is the thing they see no threat in losing market dominance in
