Is there a reason why? Less funding? Web devs don’t make the pages Firefox friendly? Since the user base is smaller, they just don’t care?

    Look, its not like we wont notice a shift like that. It would be very easy to adapt if the situation warranted.

      At that point its out of your hands. Once the users have fully decided only one browser is all they’re going to use, because most websites only develop for that browser (gee sound familiar?) then whoever owns that browser owns the web. That’s the point people are trying to get you to understand and you aren’t getting.

      This has has happened before. It took over a decade to get people to start using other browsers. Your little company can’t wave a magic wand and make the entire internet ecosystem shift, even though you were part of the cause.

      Firefox market share is going up. But because small vendors not testing on it, it’s preventing its adoption. So you’re letting Google own the web.

        That is a wild and completely wrong assertion. I’m not Microsoft. Im a guy that has used Firefox last year and the experience was sub par. So I switched back.

        I’m not letting anyone do anything. You are exaggerating to the absurd.

          Those were your words – you said you would notice a shift like that and adapt, which to me is saying you think you could undo the harm once you noticed it. Maybe you worded it wrong.

            What harm? What are you taking about?

            If some miracle happened that all of a sudden Firefox would have a critical mass of users, we would start checking it. It’s not a big deal.

      If it were really that easy to adapt there would be no reason not to support Firefox in the first place…
