What would Firefox need to do to make a comeback as a web browser?

Obviously this is not it, but what could really work?

I am required to use Chrome at work. I enjoy using Safari personally because it’s well integrated with my Apple devices.

Why would I switch to Firefox? I don’t think there is anything they can do. The party is over.

Its not built by a company that would really prefer you not have an ad blocker.

I wonder if it's like a hail mary before going out on a whimper, or if they really have this kind of money to spend

Many of the decisions Mozilla has made throughout the past decade have felt more like it’s a resting place for a professional-managerial class, post-capital set of leadership who want to perform tech-goodness from within the same playbook as a big tech company. It’s somehow rudderless and declining, but has plenty of time and connections to chase old-boys-club vanity projects like this. Next up they’ll be next to CrowdStrike on a Formula 1 car.

I’m not saying non-profits should necessarily give off the opposite vibe of being derelict and desperate, but even startups choose to run austerity measures when in decline.
