From what I've been noticing, they're going downhill since they started being supported by their competitor and monopoly. Could they be suffering from sabotage, I wonder...

You've got it backwards. It's the threat of anti-trust against Google's ownership of Chrome that puts Firefox at risk. Google has pretty much always supported / paid Firefox either to have Google as the default search or more direct support to stave off the anti-trust claims.

However, if Google has to sell / spin-off chrome, there is no longer as big of a reason to fund Mozilla and that's why you're seeing Moz scramble to find new ways to find funding. This AI push is no doubt a desperate attempt to lure in investor dollars as they're reading the room and see that their current funds will likely disappear in the coming years

Edit: spelling
