The context is that Firefox is not supporting essential OOP features (like private fields) in Javascript, which Chrome has been supporting since April 2019. In the past, Firefox had a lot of experimental features and was often the first browser to support new stuff. This has changed, Firefox is now behind in quite a few areas and if you look at their priorities, management doesn't really seem to care.

I'd dispute private fields being "essential". People have been writing a lot of OOP code in JavaScript without them for a long time now.
