We need to eradicate this myth that only power users use Firefox anymore. There are plenty of laypeople still using it that never switched to Chrome, or recently switched to Firefox for privacy or other reasons, and those people generally don't use many addons (if any at all) or change the settings from the defaults. I don't know what the actual percentage is, but I'm sure Mozilla knows the answer, and I'd be willing to bet that it's much more than half.
- burtonator 8y agoSo far I'm seeing very few people using my app in Firefox... they're mostly chrome. By about 80%... and a ton are from Hacker News... Makes it hard to justify coding for Firefox but I'm trying.

- geofft 8y agoThe nice thing is that Mozilla makes this data easily available. You can see from the "Latest Version" graph on https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity that a) about 75% of Firefox users are getting updates to the latest version and b) that number did not appear to change with the release of Firefox 57. So there are approximately zero users staying on pre-Quantum versions of Firefox. (Perhaps there are users of Pale Moon or other pre-Quantum forks?)
