Mozilla seems to be asleep at the wheel, when it once drove online activity and communications. We have some suggestions where it could go.

Yes! Please. Firefox devs should fork and make an org that focuses on Firefox alone. Make it a true competitor to Chrome/Chromium. Innovate instead of copying. Be something different and get rid of your management with fat salaries. It could be much better used on development and improving the web.
Firefox become popular originally because it differentiated itself from other browsers (well, mainly one particular browser) by offering great useful features that the others didn’t have. Many of them were targeted at power users who went on to evangelise Firefox to others.
These days Mozilla only seems to get publicity and attention for gimmicks, or for removing features. The few useful ideas it has produced, like Containers, languish in obscurity. In the face of Google’s aggressive moves with Chrome, Firefox has withered has a result.
A change of direction is sorely needed.
