Mozilla has a user-base of like 3%.
They don't have any clout at all. They should be grovelling to and thanking any website that bothers to support them, not trying to give ultimatums.

But this is a user-hostile approach. No thanks.
- diegoperini 5y agoUser-base has no importance, dev-base is what matters here. If Mozilla sends a letter to developers, chances are those people already stumbled upon MDN multiple times when they looked for answers to web development related questions.
- chrisseaton 5y agoWhy would developers care about a browser that their users don't use?
- jmcs 5y agoCan you imagine if retail stores where made in a way that 3% of customers couldn't use them?
- chrisseaton 5y agoIf there's no law saying they have to support those 3% of customers, and supporting the 3% costs more than the 3% bring in, then yeah they won't bother.
- diegoperini 5y agoBecause if "Firefox/100.0" reveals a bug, the bug may also trigger when other browsers introduce a similar change.
