Slowly Mozilla should find a new strategy, and with the most big changes yet to come (XUL removal and Webextensions arriving) which will impact fans of the old powerful Firefox add-on system and theme system very much, it does not look like things would improve in the future.
It was a matter of time, now it has happened: Google Chrome is the world's leading browser and has the "rule" of Internet Explorer ended. Even if one expects the shares of Edge to it is not enough for Microsoft in total, in order to claim 1st place for themselves. Firefox has now arrived at its permanent retreat in the single digits.
Browser market share April 2016
Google Chrome 41.66% + 2.57%
Internet Explorer 36.96% -2.14%
Mozilla Firefox 9.76% -0.78%
Safari 4.91% + 0.04%
Microsoft Edge 4.39% + 0.09%
Opera 1.89% + 0.33%

We, the internet community, have observed that Google's "don't be evil" philosophy has become tainted over time. Facebook never had any such philosophy. Facebook couldn't be convinced or forced to accept any such philosophy, under any circumstances. We DO NOT WANT Mark Zuckerberg and company to gain any more power on the internet, than they already have. In fact, I'd like to see their influence reduced by 50% or more. Facebook is in the ranks of the enemies of freedom, it is not on our side at all.

I *want* Facebook to ruin the Internet. I *want* Facebook to force everyone behind a walled garden that makes the Great Firewall look free by comparison. I *want* "Internet.org by Facebook" to become the only Internet. I *want* the Internet of Idiots to be walled up, so I can escape the Great Facebook, and stand in the barren wasteland outside that wall, and piss on it.

Google never had a Don't Be Evil philosophy, although they (used to?) claim it. But I never saw any evidence they did things differently.

Yes, this is the "claimed to" I alluded to. Please point to an instance where it resulted in behavior change. Or anything that indicated it wasn't just marketing BS.

It's a simple misunderstanding. Their motto was "Don't, be evil". Totally consistent with their actions.

I guess putting up as company motto something that should go without saying should have been a warning sign that they actually consider it to be optional.
