You might not know it, but Firefox was once widely considered to be an innovative browser. It wasn’t just an alternative to Internet Explorer (and now Chrome). Firefox introduced honest-to-goodness new features that people loved and rely on to this day.

Why not make the "feature" a settings switch instead of directly making it the new default?

It might be more work to implement but the benefit would be no disgrunteld existing users and happy chrome migraters, that can just flip a switch to "feel at home".
