Well, they are doing a terrible job. The more they become like chrome, the less people have a reason to use it instead of chrome.

And most people probably don't make a conscious decision about which browser to use. A lot of Firefox's momentum comes from tech saavy users who recommend it to friends, family, coworkers, etc. So losing "core" users cause a chain effect of losing non "core" users.

Yes. How on the earth should I recommend Firefox to other? By saying firefox will `constantly remove functions you use and change the UI in random way that make it less useful`? I am a firefox user since firefox 3. But If a non tech user ask me about it today, I will probably recommend `edge` instead. At least it don't do so many offending changes and cause so many frustrations.
