"Focus" and "streamline" are usually MBA buzzwords to describe layoffs. Hopefully not the case but sounds rough.

Doubling down on our core products, like Firefox
Expected them to double down on Google tracking, AI, and pocket while laying off Firefox engineers. Still do, but maybe slightly slower now.
"We will be rewriting our base code, working off of Chromium!"
I'd be switching to servo then.

Doubling down on our core products, like Firefox
Well, I sure fucking hope so. When are we getting back XUL addons or something comparable, you know, the feature that made your browser stand out?
(One can dream, right? Hahaha)
Doubling is nowhere near enough, they need to Quintuple down on that shit
Remember when Mozilla the company had a product named Mozilla?
The reason that Firefox sucked ass for so long in speed and features was because xul was an unbeatable burden to maintain. Also, firefoxs extensions are still the most powerful out of any browser
Indeed, they don't have to bring back the XUL. The power users would just appreciate...
- new extension APIs that interact with the browser UI
- bring back toolbar customization that was removed for no reason (we can't even move the extension button at this point...)
- bring back compact mode and better themes (without requiring CSS and about:config tweaks)
