No, it works just fine like that. The ideal outcome is for FireFox to continue to exist with a very small marketshare. That's enough for the FigLeaf function and not enough for Google to worry about killing it off any further. And contrary to the other time when a monopolist kept their competition alive I don't think this one is going to end with FireFox reversing its fate and ending up with market dominance after a surprise success.

It only exists because people with an ideal keep trying to stay as users. Ideals die hard, so the long trail will be long, but Firefox is effectively as niche as Linux on the desktop.

Fortunately for me I have both FF and Linux on the desktop. Now that they've finally fixed web midi even that reason to have Chrome has gone away.

I suspect that most remaining FF users are running it on Linux desktop.

Most Firefox requests to Wikimedia sites say Windows.[1]

Personally, I run it everywhere: on my phone, on my Windows desktop, on my Linux desktop, on my Linux netbook. Not even because of any particularly strongly held stances - it's just a nice browser that I like and it runs pretty well everywhere (plus the devtools are the most usable for me).

That said, I'm fairly sure that the majority of Linux desktop users are also using Firefox, because it's typically the default browser in most distros.

I run as default on my mac.

used to run it as default on my android phone -- but ahh mozill doesn't care about it enough. pretty unstable
