Chris was great from what I have seen, but I think Mozilla needs a CEO that knows how to increase market share.

One area where a company like Firefox could do well is embedded browsers. Some years ago I had a need to embed a browser into a windows app and there were really not many good options available. Mozilla had something (XULRunner) that seemed not maintained anymore. Mozilla could build a better competitor to Electron. That would give them developer mindshare and probably also contributions once companies are building products with that framework.

Or they could be innovative with their browser. Sometimes I have trouble telling chrome and Firefox apart. They are so similar.

In retrospect, it seems that Mozilla's biggest stumble was their decision to ignore embedding. Around 2009-ish, the decision was made to break any compatibility guarantees for embedding, at first temporarily (which was necessary until new APIs that could support multiprocess in the engine), and then the idea was that you wouldn't embed Gecko at all, and instead use XULRunner. Then XULRunner was killed off for Firefox webapps, which itself was killed off for... nothing?

XULRunner was killed off for webapps, which was killed off for https://github.com/mozilla/positron, which was killed off for nothing.

On the bright side, Servo is designed for embedding, although it's a lot more work than something like XULRunner or Electron.
