> Most users don't care and will simply use whatever the default is These users will be installing Chrome, not Firefox.

  I hope not. If that's true, then Firefox is in serious trouble. There aren't nearly enough power users and privacy enthusiasts around to make Firefox a significant player in the browser market all on their own.

    That’s exactly why Firefox is around 5% global marketshare. Only the powerusers are left. And this move will also drive them away.

    Why not? The switch barrier is non existent. Most of the replies in this thread are ideological. Nobody is arguing CSS rendering speed comparisons and such. People use Firefox because they like it. People are irrational but like is huge. Toyota over Hyundai. Vacations at the sea instead of skiing. Firefox over Chrome. The like is a habit, but if all things are equal and free, a very flexible one.
