But airing episodes out of order and changing the timeslot without warning really didn't help the ratings either :\

*nods*

I get the sense that reason the show got cancelled is that the network executives didn't like it and actively sabotaged the show rather than the viewership roundly disliking it.

From what I understand, that's actually exactly what happened.

It was Gail Berman's pet show, and she pushed it through despite the objections of her colleagues. Those colleagues, however, did what they could to sabotage it.

That's deeply unfortunate for everyone involved. :(

Firefly was never going to be a huge hit but yeah, those things did not help. A large portion of the fandom didn't come around until after the dvds had been released and for many even years after that.

I had to make a real effort to watch it when it aired, because FOX was less then helpful. I didn't instantly love it either, it took me until towards the end to realize how good it was. I don't think I even fully loved it until I got the dvds and got to watch everything in order.
