Everyone whines when Mozilla does anything that isn't related to Firefox and I don't understand it. I use Firefox daily and I run into maybe 1 bug every 6 months which is much fewer than when I as running Chrome. What exactly do you want them to pour more resources into?

Dev tools have fallen way behind Chrome's. I'm the only one on my team who never switches to Chrome for debugging work, and when web developers switch en masse to Chrome for testing their code that hurts the diversity of the ecosystem.

The sad thing is that dev tools used to be Firefox's standout feature, but it seems that Google got that memo and Mozilla forgot it.

I think an alternative to Electron that makes it easier to write efficient desktop applications using web technologies would be welcome. Basically, figure out why so many Electron apps end up slow and laggy and make first-party code that does those tasks better (and in Rust, for nerd cred.)

Edit to add: although I guess this would be related to Firefox. Oh well!

something like [tauri](https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri)?

Yah, seems like it
