I don't think it would have mattered if Firefox suddenly started improving rapidly. Alphabet has enough money and competence to not fall behind in features, ever, and it has the advertising power to never lose their market share. The best thing Firefox can do for the world is to keep raising the bar, so that Chrome has to keep up. This will not affect their popularity but it will make browsers better.
