My ideal future will see Firefox as this little niche browser that developers use to debug their javascript (if they dislike IE enough to refuse to use its script debugger) and CSS, but no real people use as their daily browser. Chrome will take FF's 30% market share, and IE will keep the rest.
Firefox has done its job: It forced MS to release IE7 (and 8), and it inspired Google to build Chrome. That's a good run, and the web will be better off because of it. But now it needs to fade gracefully from the scene so that we move on to a world where we only need to develop for two dominant browsers.
