I'm not sure it hadn't had competent leadership tbh. HN loved to hate on it's decision but a lot of them (like XUL removal) where strictly necessary for firefox to still have any chance for relevancy. And while they did try out a lot of things but FF fundamentally has a hard time gaining new users as they have very little killer features. So stuff like pocket, VR or FirefoxOS where needed tries of FF to gain some feature with which you can gain users. Tries they lost but I would say failing to try would have been worse leadership.

I'm incredibly glad they created firefox VR and that its development is being continued as wolvic. Only VR web browser I've come across that supports ublock origin. I might switch if the regular android firefox could use the quest's VR features though.

You know what else could have gained them new users? Best in class mobile browser supporting full range of FF extensions! Instead they dragged their feet on extension support for years and its performance on Android is still inconsistent for me.
