Why take the strange decision to reject xul extensions? Why spend money on bullshit projects noone needs or cares about?
It all becomes clear if we take a look at who sponsors whom and who dictates the terms. Microsoft and Google have virtually the same co-owners as of today, and Apple has been part of Microsoft since the 90s. Mozilla Corporation, financially, is part of Google. Google is also the main beneficiary of "telemetry" in Firefox. As of today, all actively developed browser engines, Blink/WebKit and Gecko Quantum are developed by the same cartel. A single, unified coproplatform has be designated for "web apps". You might know it as e.g. "Chromium" or "Electron".
Firefox, whose marked share is around 3%, is basically a prop, a plastic dummy, which Google keeps around to make sure their asses are safe just in case a competition regulator starts having questions for them, and also as a pacifier for stubborn users who wouldn't accept the engine that Google in its grace bestows upon them otherwise.
All that guys at mozilla have to do is follow the orders and get the money.
Also, similar can be said about gnome and kde.
KDE4 is a complete fucking disaster. One obvious trace to name is Microsoft -> Novell -> Kde.
Gnome3, as you may have noticed, is a complete fucking disaster, too. "Stupid" decisions made from this release on are intentional, the intention being to repel users. Also, do take note how quick gnome was to jump into the stallman cancel train.
Who's the sauron may I ask, jewgle? Or is there sauron?
But yeah, I agree and there's no solution unless there are people dedicated either to fundamentally changing the web, eg librejs, or to creating new independent engine. Look at fsf and gnu/hurd, it's already twenty years and I'm still stuck with linux-libre. Unless I learn to code I think there's no chance of ever seeing it done.
>KDE, Gnome
>qt, gtk
Redhat is rotten piece of shit when german half-commercial qt beats the shit out of gtk in every single thing pertaining to usability.
>The Debian Anti-Harassment Team ruled that Weboob is against the Debian Code of Conduct in needing to be respectful.
Yeah they surely decided to remove a set of tools that allow you to use the browser way less because it has "boob" in it.
>apt search boob
>liboobs-1-5

That picture is cool and evokes a sense of some undefined kind.
Is it somewhere is Slavistan?
2:
The cancelling of Stallman was done in a really stupid, intellectually dishonest, pandering to society way and should not be forgotten or forgiven.
As for the rest, everything is kinda fucked up.
Not sure if I agree with your logic but everything but all those corps are suspect in one or another, except Novell & RedHat which I know nothing bad about.

they didn't. the "boob" was official reason, but in reality they removed it because weboob is danger to jews
Firefox will hang around for 10 more years then get killed off, just like Google wants. Then it will be Google Chrome botnet domination. Firefox used to have 25% market share but dropped like a stone when Firefox devs stopped listening to users and started listening to (((Google))).
