Personally, I feel Mozilla did not market XUL[1] enough. Had they done that, it could have become what Electron is today, with a native look and feel, and with a much reduced footprint while still offering a JS-based runtime for applications.

90% of what XUL accomplished was rendered moot and obsolete by HTML5. The remaining 10% isn't worth it.
I remember using Songbird. It was nice.
Or chatzilla.
