If this is correct and Firefox is now 2.3% opposed to Samsung Browser and Opera both at 2%… it’s pretty much over.

As a former Netscape user… I think it’s almost masochistic to remain on Firefox as it’s rewarding a company that mismanaged its only product into the ground. And for what? What is the amazing thing Mozilla did at the expense of Firefox and donating the direction of internet technologies to Google?

The executives got to attend a bunch of fancy gallows, and Pat themselves on the back?

By that logic wouldn’t it be pretty much over for Mac OS as well?

Firefox started at 0% when IE was more dominant than Chrome is today. Nothing is certain.

Firefox hit a peak of 32% and has fallen ever since. Effectively Firefox crashed at the same time IE did, and I can’t see in what way Mozilla ever attempted to recover.

Now correlate that with when the organization was hijacked by its management into no longer being interested in making a good browser.

What the heck are you talking about? This is from the Thunderbird group not the firefox group...
