To put things in perspective, consider than from web browsers and languages, to their respective ill-fated mobile OS efforts, nothing Mozilla created has ever gotten more adoption than something MS created.

Only if we don't count Netscape and JavaScript. They put it in the browser, for better or for worse.

Why would we count Netscape and Javascript?

We're talking about Mozilla.

Netscape was a different company -- and besides we're discussing under the context of MS vs benevolent/FOSS entities.

It depends on the country. In Germany Firefox is actually the most popular browser according to usage statistics (even ahead of Chrome).

Source: http://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/13007/umfrage/... (German statistics office. Paywalled sadly, but you can see the first paragraph that describes Firefox market share at 52%.)

Just FYI, Statista is a private company. You may be thinking of http://destatis.de/, which is the homepage of the German federal office for statistics.
