Firefox is more irrelevant now than IE6 was (gabrielsieben.tech)

The writing was on the wall when they decided a rapid release schedule was somehow better software. Browsers are things that should grow very slowly, like oak trees.


The lack of urgency and awareness around this baffles me. The death of Firefox means the death of the open web, but it seems like very few people care.


The overwhelming lack of concern does seem to reflect that nothing but OSes can survive as very long-term open source projects.


This makes me so sad. Always loved Firefox but Mozilla abandoned it.


Apple's message is clear; if you cannot use their proprietary Safari product, you must acquiesce to Chrome's dominance.

...you guys didn't actually fall for their free web marketing, did you?


I remember when Firefox was going to change the world. It kind of did. Today, it's clear that Mozilla wants to do anything else than build a web browser. Maybe if they did, Firefox wouldn't have the market share of an also-ran.
