Privacy concerns are (FINALLY !) being taken in consideration from the crowd. We hoped it would come back from it, and it happened: Firefox is now a fast, lean and fantastic browser again. Even during the V30 to v50 transition period where Firefox was, at the time, clearly an inferior product, we kept using it to support it for the sheer ideal of it. Mozilla has the hardcore geeks on their side. Their last brillant idea, the tab container, is worth switching on it's own.
I can't navigate the web without the ublock extension. Firefox is the only decent mobile browser.
To my knowledge, the "oxydation" project has been a success so far, and rust is proving everyday that it's a positive force in the world as well. Mozilla strongly invested in their own tech, including rewritting the browser rendering engine and taking huge risks such as create a bloody hole new language, rust, in the process. They are not perfect, but their track record is damn good compared to almost any player of their size and impact in the tech world. Fighting for the open Web is one of their goal. Mozilla has been in a far worse uderdog position before during the IE6 era, with way more incompatible sites and less funding.
This will be especially true when Firefox inevitably shutters it's in-house efforts in a couple of years due to the amount of sites that won't work with it, and starts using Chromium too.
