The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance
The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance
With its market share hitting a new low, can Firefox rise from the ashes or is this the end?
Article seems pretty flawed. Relevance is a vague metric, and the author relies pretty heavily on data related to government site visitation, which seems subject to bias toward certain types of users.
Market share is likely still incredibly low, but Firefox's relevance should be spiking right now due to Google's shenanigans with Chromium. The fact that like 90% of revenue for its for-profit wing is from Google is still troubling.
Any alternative views out there?

Are you just here to spark a browser war? Claims like "firefox is dead" are guaranteed to get a shit ton of comments stating the exact opposite, backed up with annecdotal evidence.
I feel obliged to do the same though. So let me tell you that I've recently switched back to firefox after years of chrome and I haven't regretted it one single moment.
Me? Not at all. I actually posted this out of concern because, as I've said elsewhere, I'm a Firefox user, and my layman's impression was that its reputation has been improving over the past couple years. I assumed its user base was doing the same as people grew increasingly concerned with Google's intentions.
Apparently ZDnet has some reputational issues itself I was unaware of.
