Their loss in market share is due to anti-competitive practices by Google and Microsoft.
Meh, maybe its also that the browser fucking sucks for anyone who isn't into self abuse?
Netscape is incapable of making a good browser. They don't know how and its not what they want to do. They may have changed their name and a bunch of other silly bullshit when netscape collapsed and reformed as Mozilla, but the organization still has the exact same problem.
They spend too much time telling us why everyone else is wrong and how they are being treated unfairly, while at the same time building in BLINK and MARQUEE tags. No, I will not ever forgive them for BLINK and MARQUEE and especially not when they still have the same mentality they did in the late 90s. A bunch of devs with no architect or leadership all arguing over what they want to do next. Not because its good for the browser or its what people want, but mostly because its something this particular dev wants to do today. They all just go off and do whatever silly thing they think is amazing.
Firefox gained marketshare when the alternative was IE 6. Thats it. Not since the world moved on from IE6 has Firefox been worth mentioning. When grandma stopped letting you install firefox on her computer because someone showed her Chrome, Firefox's time was over. Both Safari and Edge are superior to Firefox for home users in almost every case where they don't have some fan boy techie screaming at them for being pathetic for using 'not firefox'.
Normal people dont want to spend all day playing with plugins, troubleshooting weird bugs, or figuring out solutions to problems that they just don't have with other browsers. And no, grandma doesn't give a flying fuck about your ad-block crusade, no one does really, its not a real problem anymore, its not the pop-up porn 90s anymore.
You firefox guys continue to live in this tiny little window of time where IE was truly a shitty browser and don't realize that we're not there anymore. The world has moved on, its only Firefox and its users who can't.
