I really can't agree more with you. WebVR is not a good investment, when you are not even on par in terms of performance for displaying a web page, the last thing you look into is WebVR. This is one of the main problem at Mozilla, they often get influenced by the trend or they spread funds over many different projects ( that range from VR to Museum Arts, grants for LGBT, harassment prevention, Bioinformatics, etc. those are very noble/interesting causes too but you cannot save the whole world at once ). But I don't know maybe this is good for marketing and it allows them to get even more donation / sponsoring? But I'm really not convinced... I think what can really save Mozilla is WebRender/Servo. The best thing that happened to FF is surely not Pocket (once again, huge investment and most people don't use it) but Quantum and this comes from the Servo project.

As you said, they could also make a killer electron alternative and it would be very fitted to Servo as you can start with a subset of the spec and focus on performance/footprint, but their lastest attempt is from what I know this : https://github.com/paulrouget/servoshell/blob/master/README.... which is almost 1 year old

It's understandable, but don't mix the Mozilla Foundation with Mozilla Corporation. The former wholly owns the latter, but they do rather different flavors of work/outreach and they're not really competing over the same one of resources.

They compete for the same money, no?
