These are great days for Firefox. Chrome definitely made the devs focus on performance, but that's how the market works. As others have said, Firefox is generally on par with Chrome regarding performance, and is arguably better feature-wise (addons). With the rapid-release process in place and updates getting more and more silent, Mozilla is poised to bring more and more awesome things to Firefox quickly.
And now with Firefox OS, we can experience the same amount of openness and freedom with a mobile OS as we do with Firefox (Firefox OS will also be built to run on lower-end phones that iOS or Android can't handle, opening up new markets in other countries).
The reasoning behind "why don't they focus on Firefox" is ridiculous, as if throwing engineers at one product will inherently improve it. We all know that one product only needs a few core developers with several other supporting devs, and Mozilla is big enough to support several projects.
