There is a rush to implement stuff though. The demand for functionality continues to grow, and if the platform stagnates developers and therefore users will move to other platforms.

It needs to be thoughtful, but the firefox position appears to be that web apps have no business accessing bluetooth or usb. Which as I explained earlier leads to user installing clunky native apps to interact with their bluetooth/usb gadgets, or the gadgets being deployed with phone home functionality so that user can still access them through a web portal.

If firefox wishes to remain relevant they're going to have to implement the things that developers and users want. Nobody wants a dumb document browser anymore, that ship has sailed. Browsers are a ubiquitous application platform.
