What sorry state?
The thing I don't get about this narrative is that Firefox works and works very well for me and so when I see people saying things like this it doesn't jive with reality.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoI’ve used Firefox since it replaced Netscape. I agree, I think “sorry state” is an exaggeration. They’ve made some choices I don’t love, but my browser isn’t part of me, I open a tab, I get some info, I get back to work. My job isn’t to play Firefox. I don’t get the “UI sucks, they made it like Chrome… so instead I use Chrome”. However… > That control was exercised over the years and now Mozilla is more a social justice advocacy organization than a foundation that develops a web browser. I do think they’re happy to spend too much time/money on their pet projects. Given the layoffs and poor market performance, this has come at the cost of their product. I’m allowed to dislike that despite still using it. Sorry state of Firefox, I disagree. Sorry state of Mozilla, yes. So I look at M and do expect FF to get worse.
- Tagbert 5y agoi think it is less about the state of the browser itself and more about it’s continuing drop in user base.
- ymolodtsov 5y ago3.54% of market share is a pretty sorry state for once a major browser. At this point it's reasonable to suggest users to try a different browser if Firefox has issues with your website.
