Mozilla have lost the plot with Firefox, now all they seem to care about is adding version numbers instead of innovating.

Not sure how many people care about mobile Firefox, but they definitely need to do more work on the desktop to win users back.

They should start with a multi-process Firefox which should speed up browsing significantly, same as Chrome, rather than waste time with small tweaks.
