Mozilla need to stop sucking at google's teet. I know this is much easier said than done. At some point, the value proposition to google is not going to be that great since they already own the browser market. Not sure about you all, but I use Firefox. I use computers daily and immediately change my search engine to DDG once I have a fresh install.
They need to go after corporate IT departments and say something like the following: buy into our product. Our code is open, we are a charity, and we are here to make the web a secure place and free to everyone. We are here to make sure you are not bullied. They need something like the Linux foundation's model. They need the Exxons, they need the Fords. They need to show how scary it will be if Google wins the browser war again and what it will do to them, just like it would be scary if one single entity started owning the Linux kernel.
I think consumer markets are fickle. I bet if someone uses FF at work they are much more likely to use it at home.
People adhere to their browsers pretty well. I wouldn't change my browser at home just because I use it at work unless I wanted to synchronize my Mozilla/Google account across both computers (and this is often prohibited on enterprise licensed FF/Chrome).
Moreover, many companies make use of GSuite to handle email or collaboration tasks. If you already pay for such features, then it makes sense to follow through the platform and stick with Chrome.
To end, I will say that I use Firefox daily at home and work.
