Not a tech. FF was free and decent. Last several versions if I didn't update, repeated, annoying reminders that got worse and larger and harder to remove as I blocked them. Now on FF 71 I find out I have to 'reload' flash every time I play certain games, that FF removed the 'always activate' option. I would use an older FF version but then here come the interuptive reminders. Never tried Chrome and IE used to be a joke. Might be time to try something else. BTW, I'm a huge W7 fan, W10 as I understand it requires promises to MS to allow them to keep their hands in my computer. UBUNTU scared me when I tried it years ago and I have no use for Apple. Sad that was once a great, free, hassle free internet has become a cesspool of greed and a line of arrogant egomaniacs trying to control every aspect of it. If I wanted that crap I'd follow the news, people, and politics. Glad I'm 65. CIAO!
Firefox dying?

I don't have any answers for you. I did enjoy reading your thoughts. For the most part, it describes me and my thoughts.

I don't use Firefox these days much because Firefox like most browser these days use up all my RAM whe you have some tabs open almost 4 GB of RAM is used these days.
I mostly use Linux light browsers made for Linux works on Windows too where I can have 8 tabs open and use only 30% of my 4 GB of RAM. Well most web sites will display okay the odd web sites the layout will be all mess up because the browser is updated by small less than 1% market share used.

I use both FF and Chrome. I find FF runs Gmail infinitely better then Chrome ironically, so I'll probably stick to that. My only gripe with FF is the default font is quite small and the font rendering is terrible. I hope it gets better in the future.

I ended up switching to opera lately for the fact that it has the speed dial and application integration on the toolbar. I'm sure others have this configured in some way but for now I feel comfortable using it over firefox.
