But the typical user doesn't use Firefox. People who (claim to) want to empower themselves do. It doesn't have a healthy userbase, they keep screaming from the rooftops every time someone mentions that they've switched for brave or something.
If you want the typical user to use Firefox, setting yourself apart as the mobile browser that has extensions for example, or keeping features that people use and like as they used to do when they had dominant market share would be good ways to do it. They used to understand their selling point.
And beyond that, as I have personally seen using iceraven and others have noted in here, tons of extensions that firefox blacklisted work fine and have for years. They still blacklisted them. Even if we agreed that disempowering the user so that they have a good experience made sense, which I don't, the actual number they would've needed to blacklist would've been much lower than the ones they actually blacklisted. In at least one of those instances the stated reason was a blatant lie.
