I haven't actually looked at it, but I have the feeling that the Firefox code base is godawful and nobody who isn't being paid for a 40 hour weekday actually wants to get involved in it.

oh google pay a LOT of people to do it.
Either outright commits by at-google email addresses, or things like summer of code. All to play catch up with the features they shove on chrome.

Damn, didn't know that one can develop skills to evaluate the quality of a code-base by just "feeling" it and not looking at it at all - quite impressive!
