I think it's actually a good thing. Let's hope a new fork like Floorp or something will not just fork but take the lead and innovate!
Firefox has not been innovating enough in the past 10 years. It's slow and its not having any good features either.
They've been innovating ways to get us to use their services, tho. Pocket, anyone?
Yeah, that is one of their attempts to get more independent from the Google money. They would need to be doing more of that, not less.
If you meant innovating ways to get your data, then yea
Let them first start on focusing on performance. Since that is now really bad in Firefox. The js engine sucks hard.
