As predicted years ago.
The joys of a monopoly web browser.
Proof again that we never learn from the past. MSFT made Firefox take off because they made IE suck so hard, Mozilla have tried ever since to make us not use it but some of us are spiteful and use it anyway.
Time to get a job with Mozilla and try to change them from within. Make Firefox a popular and useful, privacy friendly, extensible, user focussed piece of FOSS.
I'm bitter because Phoenix/Firebird were so promising and the geeks loved them for standards and openness.

- lapcat 4y agoYes, I'm well aware of that. I'm not aware that Mozilla's financial situation has improved significantly since then. In fact, many tech employers are cutting back hiring right now, most prominently Google and Apple. (Note that Mozilla itself is financed heavily by Google Search money.)
