It's unfortunate that they are trimming the low-use, killer features that enthusiasts love. But I suspect they have limited developer resources, and given their declining market share, it makes sense that they would focus their efforts.

Unless a group of independently wealthy developers want to take up the mantle of maintaining the enthusiasts features, we should anticipate more cuts.

Except they recently renewed a cool $400M a year [0] Google search deal.

You underestimate the ability of Mozilla's leadership team to piss away money.

Or you know, a browser is not a trivial app, especially with the feature churn of the modern web, that has to be kept up-to-date.

Which makes it seem not quite genius that they add as much feature churn again in their own app.
