What Firefox has in the future is not relevant now. It will also be
interesting to see what the MPEG-consortium does with the DASH licensing
(I've
read some news about them considering taking money for it) which
youtube
use
in combination with the VP9 video streaming. This could prevent
Firefox
from
getting VP9 for quite some time, at least for smooth youtube
streaming.
This is not likely, they said this about VP9 and nobody did anything, I
don't really know.

If you don't write web pages that use the exact number of things that FF
support as opposed to e.g Chrome, then it will not work in FF.

Did you take into account the Mobile views?
No, I only checked desktop browsers since developers target a specific form
factor by a specific version of their site, but I can see if we add desktop
and mobile them Safari has higher number of users.
The problem with QtWebKit is that it is very much behind upstream WebKit
development.
When Chromium used WebKit it was several years ahead of QtWebKit.
