It wasn't so long ago we'd been told Gecko & XUL would never be dropped....

They should discard the FF internals, keep XUL (which provides Firefox's only relative strength, the ability to make meaningful UI changes via add-ons) Agreed! However, it's clear the current decision makers don't want to keep XUL. The plan is to kill it off, by the end of the year, while taking out user CSS and JS support along with it. This leaves behind whatever the next thing the company wants to call Firefox even more crippled than the competition (except maybe Edge - which really shows you the aim of the current team). At that point all the mozilla.org sites become graveyards. Somebody, I'm sure, will relish closing down all the items in bugzilla as INVALID/WON'T FIX.
Going to guess they'll follow in the footsteps of Opera: WebKit-based, lose whatever little market-share remains, court an investor group to put them out of their misery (Might not be Chinese in this case, given the way things are right now, but you never know).
Almost like somebody wants to set it up for failure. |
