I remember the day when Firefox was one of the first things so many people installed on a new Windows machine. I struggle to figure out how Firefox is going to gain marketshare today. I think the privacy features sound great but most people probably believe that the existing browsers consider their privacy as well. Google has such an advantage that they can promote Chrome to users who use their search every day multiple times a day.
I think the mobile OS Firefox attempted would have been great for them if it had succeeded.
What would make me download and use firefox today? I download and install Chrome on my mac because I feel more productive with the developer tools when I'm doing web development. When I wasn't doing any frontend work I actually stuck with Safari.

I prefer having navigation in one bar, and search in another. It makes it much easier to quickly choose between my installed search providers, and do the same search query on multiple sites.
