I like seeing Mozilla actually improving Firefox instead of just shuffling UI components around. I've been a longtime user, and am happy to support the underdog here to try and keep some balance of power on the web. Having Mozilla focus more on their tech, and less on politics is a good thing. Regardless, Firefox is a good piece of software and I have no major qualms with it.

  Spending time on Firefox OS honestly would have been a productive use case and it'd probably also be a decent revenue source for Mozilla rather than abandoning it and letting KaiOS pick it up. Especially given that it's now become the third largest mobile OS with over 100 million active users worldwide.

I'm happy for Mozilla to keep shuffling UI components around - if it gets them more users then that's good, and it's vital that Mozilla be willing and permitted to take risks, instead of always being a step behind in every aspect. For instance, FirefoxOS seems to have been a failure, but most longshots are a failure, and if you scrimp on long shots then you end up like Microsoft, realizing that some kids these days don't even have a laptop and their phone sure as hell isn't running Windows. So I'm fine with more FirefoxOS-like projects.

Firefox is continues to bleed users despite of (or because of) UI reshuffling.
