I personally have not heard any users say anything wildly positive about recent changes. And I think the steady decline in users is in a large part due to the perception that Mozilla doesn't seem to care what their users want anymore.
I don't think it is a "small fraction". I think it's a big chunk. And I also think that chunk constitutes the most dedicated users the browser has (you know, the kind that install Firefox on their relatives' computers for them, and frequently personally advocate its use by others). Mozilla would be fools to ignore them.
I honestly hold only a small amount of hope that Firefox will live on long term. These issues keep being brought up, and Mozilla still comes across like they don't care. Feedback I've gotten from folks who work at Mozilla indicates that at least some of them do care, but the public perception by loyal users is that they don't.
I hope Mozilla can get it together and that Firefox can live on with great success. At this point I just don't think it is going to happen. I hope they prove me wrong.
