Coincidentally a similar issue is why a number of people I know shifted away from FF to Chrome: breaking changes in the add-ons system which meant a lot of old ones stopped working completely and some major ones were slower to update then you'd expect. Moving onto better maintained extensions is a good thing in the end in terms of security and stability, but the hassle of needing to find/choose new options meant one of the sources of friction stopping people move to Chrome then existing even if they stayed with FF. > If Mozilla fails to position themselves to capture these users Hopefully they'll remember the other side of the coin and organise to make sure those users are aware their option is viable. I don't currently use FF much (though I've experienced some irritations in Chrome in recent months so maybe it is time for my bi-/tri-annual switch of primary browser) but the existence of a significant browser that isn't essentially a reskin of Chromium and isn't locked to one platform is important to avoid the monoculture issues we experienced in IE6's 90+% market share days.
