they need to offer a better alternative to Electron. once that happens, you'll have Firefox everywhere. People will code their SPAs to run in Firefox first, recommend it to their users, and accelerate the development of better APIs.

Ah, so it should just be better! I wonder why nobody thought of that yet :P

(Sorry, I'm in a sarcastic mood, but you get my point.)

oh don't get me wrong if I had a plan for it I'd be doing it. I've always found it really weird given the impact that Electron had in app development, why Firefox never tried to ride that train. I know of one short lived effort to take the engine out of the browser.

Usually the answer is limited resources with unclear payoff, i.e. even with Electron's success, it's not clear that there's room for an alternative in the market, and it'd be a lot of effort to do.
