It seems to me that Mozilla has over expanded and is in search of a mission. A useable browser not beholden to the latest UX fads would be a start.

Mozilla's mission is to promote openness on the web. It is both easy to articulate and easy to understand.

Their mission is not to build a web browser for the sake of building a web browser. They build a browser to protect the web and you.

This project fits in with that mission too.

What UX fads?

They're probably moaning about Firefox 'copying Chrome' or something. Though they're not copying Chrome; Firefox has its own distinctive style and I much prefer it to Chrome's.
