I feel that Firefox has been increasingly focusing on adding fancy new features rather than ensuring the browser is stable and functional. Accounts, Sync, Pocket, to name some examples.
If we include the android edition it's easy to mention the UX customization options as another example. "Scroll to hide toolbar" frequently breaks the viewport size calculation, making it impossible to scroll to the bottom of most pages. "Pull to refresh" keeps triggering when trying to scroll up on pages. "Swipe toolbar to switch tabs" is great, even though it occasionally sends you to the new-tab splashpage which I'm still not quite sure how to effectively return from. And the decision to make most addons unavailable is just confusing through and through.
I get the motivation to add "some value" to set Firefox apart from the competition; I just wish it was a far second to bugfixes.
