    That sounds great for a power user that loves to research what extensions and such to have in their browser, and likes to customise their system to be just how they like it, but it doesn’t sound like something with the wide-market appeal that Mozilla needs if they’re to become a mainstream name again.

    Those people will just wonder why FF is missing basic functionality, then switch back to Chrome.

        That’s not what I said at all. I said Firefox needs to have broad appeal and right now it doesn’t.

        That was very very clear from my comment.

        There’s no point in doubling down on only appealing to the tiny amount of people that by and large already use Firefox or a derivative.
