Firefox has all sorts of telemetry reporting so they know exactly how much usage the browser is getting.
- woodruffw 3y agoIt's not clear to me that these numbers come from Firefox's own telemetry. I couldn't find the graphs in either of the reports on their own page.
- fabrice_d 3y agoIndeed, and the data is mostly public: see https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity to check monthly active user evolution. It's going slowly down - something that is unlikely to improve unless Firefox gets better distribution channels, especially on mobile. Giving up on FirefoxOS cut them from having the "default" browser anywhere. They are working on a gecko-based iOS browser since the UE is likely to mandate browser diversity, so maybe that will improve things a bit - though this will only make the situation on iOS on par with Android where Firefox is not doing well market share wise.
