This is how a lack of a vision manifests - if there was a vision, there would be meaningful work for everyone, instead of people inventing unwanted features to keep themselves busy.
And of course, vision needs user & customer research, it's not a thing a 'leader' could hallucinate with no external inputs.
Yep, you can count me in this group as well. The Firefox team goes out of it's way to make so many changes that just seem useless or annoying; it's baffling to me. It really feels like a team with too many devs and designers sitting around needing to create work. I very much doubt that's actually the case, but that just means it's a widespread management issue.
That said, it doesn't make me want to stop using Firefox because the only other option is Chrome which has bigger issues.
