The reason that Firefox sucked ass for so long in speed and features was because xul was an unbeatable burden to maintain. Also, firefoxs extensions are still the most powerful out of any browser

Indeed, they don't have to bring back the XUL. The power users would just appreciate...

new extension APIs that interact with the browser UI
bring back toolbar customization that was removed for no reason (we can't even move the extension button at this point...)
bring back compact mode and better themes (without requiring CSS and about:config tweaks)
