Firefox stands for the web of open standards: it's good that the browser exists. However, it is slipping into insignificance.

A healthy browser ecosystem needs diversity so that one day one company cannot dictate to everyone how they should use the internet. We've been through this before, and it didn't go well. On that note: Happy birthday, Firefox, may you have many more birthdays!

No. I meant a modern thing filling the same niche. Palemoon is just old FF supported by a group of delusional people (their attack on OpenBSD with "official branding" or something comes to mind).
