It's still baffling to me that Mozilla threw out Firefox's technical future

Very little about Mozilla makes sense --- until you follow the money.

I ran Dogemania on Chrome until 1400 images at steady 60 FPS at which point I got bored and closed the tab.

What do you mean? Doesn't most of Mozilla's revenue come from Firefox?

How do you think Firefox is making money, since it has no payed features? Hint: it has Google search as the default search engine.

That's my point... The fewer people use Firefox, the less money they get from Google. If you follow the money, it doesn't make sense for them to neglect Firefox.

Mozilla is basically paid by Google to have a multi-platform non-Blink browser around they can point to when accused of being a monopoly.

Having a quality browser is not required, merely it existing. So why waste money on novel web engine experiments when you can have AI conferences in Zambia?
