Security and performance are hard to measure but it's at least questionable that they're behind in either.
AI has many good uses, for example the local translation capability that allows for privacy-preserving translations of websites is AI and already in Firefox, and makes it possible to translate in environments that do not allow sending data out for security reasons.
Firefox misses multiple security features Chromium had for years, altough they did add some like site isolation though mutliple processes. The following link showed up first after searching. [1]
Security isn't everything though. I love how Firefox has local translations, which I've wanted for many years.
