I agree, Firefox (the technology) has been made first to stand for our manifesto principles. Putting user first shouldn't be short termed by putting technology first. We can make numbers say anything one's which (with hypotheses, representation, axiom, ...) but we should keep our way going forward : our principles are our (first and final) aims.
It seems to me that Mozilla avoided monopoly in others area where users wanted a good experience. For social network (social web), we build the social API and then build on top of it some services. The user have a choice on the best provider to choose (or disable/remove all) and always have the feature. For search, we built a search manager, improve discovery of alternatives, integrated then in a marketplace... And yes, there should be pro and coins, cost and benefit (not only about money) about these choices that we shouldn't idealize. But the way was good. Why reading list didn't took / don't take the same way ? Has our 'decision system' failed at the start (only Pocket) ? On the way (finally, no next provider) ? What about ours other principles ? Regarding to them (and not only the technology) is that the same to achieve them with proprietary and third-party service or by building our service (or part of it, like the login), advocate + support + help build an alternative ? Which one, at which moment give us free hands to make our way forward for long ? At the end, it's all about the open web.
