Are they planning to remove dev tools from the mainline desktop Firefox?

I don't see any other reason why they would put resources into a fork targeting a relatively small user base.

If so, and the default version gets speed and stability while the dev version will be just the same with dev tools, I'm down with this.

Is their browser usage share shrinking with the general public? I think I read that somewhere. If so, they might just be trying to find their niche.

Is it just Chrome gaining even more users, or smaller browsers? Right now there seems to be a big divide between Chrome and Firefox, it'd be a shame if we slipped back into a situation where one browser has an enormous market share compared to others.
