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%

    Firefox was such an exciting thing, back in the day.

    The built in pop-up blocker was why I first tried it. They had tabbed browsing as well, a revelation for an IE user, and not having to deal with active-x was great as well. I suspect the people that came together from the ashes of Netscape to form Mozilla are long gone from influence and the company is run by members of the mobile computing generation, so anachronistic desktop users like myself are out of luck for the future. It still seems more pleasant now to use than Chrome, but that may be because I'm used to it. Maybe I should give up, buy a PC with Windows 10 and install Chrome and let both Microsoft and Google have their unfettered way with my privacy...
