> Mozilla was driven into the ground by better competition
I thought it was Microsoft's anti-competitive strategy? (bundling IE, changing the API's to break netscape, etc.)

I thought it was Mozilla's utter lack of regard for the their userbase.
I missed that cluster of madness for firefox, I guess. Had I known that Mozilla would turn out this way, I would never have donated money. My name is on their full-page NYT ad and poster.
I wonder if they'd give me a refund?
They waited 3 years before a new release. In internet terms, it's like 21 years between any new features.
During that time, IE was (IMO) the best browser objectively, in almost every sense of the word. They didn't change the APIs per se to break Netscape, they started giving features that Netscape didn't offer because users wanted them.
