I think Firefox compatibility is required. It seems all we are discussing is the allocation of resources, which seems skewed in favor of a free browser due to its success (as opposed to GNU/Linux). Not that I would stop people working on their pet projects...
Sure, this is the best face of OSS, but what is the true opportunity cost of developing free browsers, as opposed to an OS?
Microsoft makes money through the sale of OSes, not browsers, and if OSS developers wanted to better tackle the beast, more efforts should be spent on an OS that can truly take on Windows.
Just a thought...
