It’s actually impressive how bad they are when it comes to promoting themselves and market themselves as a viable alternative. One could genuinely think they do it on purpose almost
Targeted ads. Promotional campains to make people more aware of Firefox/why it’s better. Be more present online (instead of passively depending on the userbase). Take inputs from the community and actually doing something with them rather than saying “k” and then doing nothing. Those are just some off the top of my head.
Edit: as pointed out by a kind user, targeted ads was a poor choice of words. I explained myself better below in the comments
Very fair point. My bad, I expressed myself poorly. What I meant with ‘targeted ads’ was to show ads not on the browser itself but to people who might be more easily convinced to use Firefox. For example, there’s a huge amount of viewers on YouTube that are tech-oriented. Nobody is stopping Firefox from sponsoring creators, videos or even collaborating with them.
Part of Mozilla’s funding comes from Google. I adore their browser and other software however the corporate itself has a questionable history as it is with many corporates usually anyway.

How could they improve?

I agree with everything you said except for the targeted ads part. It would be wildly hypocritical of them to do this.

Seems like a waste of money.
If people want to use garbage, let them. It’s not like telling them firefox is better is going to change anything.
