My big gripe is that the Mozilla devs seem to live in a echo chamber. At no point do I recall Mozilla trying to find out how the users felt about proposed changes. Users have been voting with their feet, and FF browser market share has been steadily shrinking. Mozilla funding comes from ad deals, and the current funding base is through a deal with Yahoo, replacing Google as the default search engine. But Yahoo has been bought by Verizon (and the amount of the funding Yahoo had committed to give Mozilla was a sticky point in the acquisition.) Will Verizon continue to provide the funding when the current agreement expires, with traffic coming from FF shrinking as people drop Firefox? What will Mozilla do if it doesn't - make puppy eyes at Google? I don't see this ending well.

So, it's bye, bye firefox, I'm afraid, and going to Chrome.
