I don’t mean doing a total rebase, but rather porting whatever beneficial changes from later Firefox releases that don’t interfere with our code.
Umm... but wouldn't that just be what we're already doing when we backport bugs?
Now granted, one thing we haven't done is literally go through every patch Mozilla applied since our fork point up to 68 and evaluate it for inclusion, if that's what you meant. But seriously, given the sheer volume of stuff Mozilla takes and how much of it is just moving code around or backing out things that didn't work, there's a surprising amount of junk there is to sift through to get to the useful changes... it can be overwhelming at times.
