IMO it's not insane (and they didn't give up on their browser in order to do it).
It was a Hail Mary for sure but really their only way to be competitive on mobile. iOS and Android are both owned by direct competitors in the browser space, Mozilla is never going to be given a fair shot there. FirefoxOS would have their way to rectify that and I think we would have all benefitted from greater competition in the mobile market. But alas, it was never to be.
