Most French colonist were hunters and traders and never established permanent homes, they lacked self government and religious freedom (only Catholics were allowed)... Meaning many French (Huguenots, French Protestants) even went to other English colonies seeking refuge.. And since most of the people who went to America were seeking freedom and a different pace of life New France failed...

Additionally, the French Crown focused on trade and resource extraction rather than large-scale colonization, leading to a smaller population of permanent settlers compared to British colonies.
