Do you even listen to yourself before making these statements?

Linux desktop share = 1.3%

Of which 80% of users will use the browser they want to, irrespective of what is currently installed. So 20% of 1.5% = 0.26%

Fortunately firefox is not at a stage where they have to care about 0.26% usage share of worldwide desktop.

And I have rarely seen Linux distro maintainers acting in any bigger-sense-of-good or in technologically better solutions. They have their own favourites.

If firefox wants to succeed- it should ship default with uorigin, kills google and makes firefox snappier. Instant win. If I were making firefox- I'd also ship a power user edition with uMatrix enabled

Where's that "80%" from? I find it entirely believable, but where's it from?

"will" (I hope that word eliminates the possibility of a source ... :) )
