lol, I'll be the one to say I think it's still pretty good. It's fine. They don't always prioritize what I wish they would, and I disable some stuff they introduce in an attempt to keep up with Chrome, but besides that I think they've done a good enough job in maintaining the last existing alternative to the Blink and Webkit rendering engines. The alternate versions of it like LibreWolf, Waterfox, Floorp, Zen, and Ironfox (on Android) are great, but they all 100% dependant on baseline Firefox going on. I feel frustrated with them, sure, but a part of me is also saying "do what you need to do to keep going."
I'm certainly not about to switch to Chrome or suggesting they should stop existing but it does not seem like they do not have the finger on the pulse of the sorts of nerds who actually use Firefox at all
