Can you elaborate on this? I am using Firefox since it was released, and it is getting better, not worse.

They keep firing large chunks of their employees due to not much cash, and the majority of their funding comes from google which it is phasing out over time.
Once Chrome is spun out of Google and Firefox loses its Google sponsorship, Firefox and Chrome will be able to complete for $$$ on an equal basis -- maybe by charging for the browser software, or selling a subscription, or selling user data to companies, etc.
It's market share has been slowly trending downward since forever
