If this means they'll have more resources to fix the horrible video streaming battery usage from Firefox running on MacOS... great.

Intel MBPs battery just goes from 100 to 0 when you stream a video call. Honestly even on an M1 Firefox uses a lot more battery than Chrome or Safari.

Makes it hard to recommend Firefox to people.

Now... as for people still running an OS from 2009... I don't have any comments on that, other than to say it's really hard to care about what people running a 14 year-old OS want. Imagine all the hardware is pretty much just running on luck at that point.

Remember how shitty it was to have to support IE6? And that was only really for like 10 years.
