Fortunately/unfortunately (hard to tell which), the answer for 'how to get Firefox to thrive and grow' might basically be to spend more money on ads, since Google Chrome was advertised everywhere in its early days. At one point, they were running TV commercials and putting ads on billboards at stations here in the UK.

That probably got a lot of people's attention.

A few people might have heard of the parent company too, like from their mobile OS, or from the search engine where they type their addresses in when browsing.

I've seen a bunch of Firefox ads (both irl and online) over the past year after Quantum was out.
