Firebug May Die Soon

• mooism2 15y ago
  Some of the drop-off in use is due to Christmas, possibly all of it. The reduced use only started two weeks ago, but is more marked than the previous year. We won't know for sure for another week or two.

    We do know. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/statistics/?last=365 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/stati... and select a custom range starting 2010-12-01 and ending now. You can see that the dip then is almost identical to the one now. In fact, it was a bit bigger then! The author of the post knows zilch about trend analysis - it's only link bait.

        Turns out you're right. There apparently was a bug in the usage stats at Mozilla. See http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2012/01/04/issue-corrected-with-add-on-usage-stats/ http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2012/01/04/issue-corrected-wi... . > * Unfortunately, active daily user statistics since December 16, 2011 are approximately 33% lower than they should be and cannot be corrected due to lost logs.* The underreporting lasted for 2.5 weeks.
