On June 21st, 2011 Mozilla decided that Chrome would lead and Firefox would follow. Almost every single change to Firefox since then made it more similar to Chrome, not less. If you're making a browser, you follow the leader, not the first follower.

What happened on that day? Is there more historical details?

Not the guy but a quick search pulls up a press release for that day which was the release of Firefox v4.0 and mentions the 'new' rapid release cycle. I'm assuming it was this last that they were referring to.
