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?

Wow. This depressing for me to see because I have a hard time believing Firefox market share is less than 3%. It’s likely denial on my part. That said, it will not stop me from continuing to have it installed as the default browser on my PC, work laptop and mobile devices.
That came as a surprise to me too. 2.5% is just so little.
It's not that low everywhere. In Germany, it's 9.79%, for example.
Most traffic nowadays comes from mobile devices and hardly anyone installs alternative browsers on them at all. They just use the default.
