The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance (www.zdnet.com)

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?

The url bar is in the bottom of the screen in stead of in the top.

You can move it to the top in the settings though..? They moved it to the bottom by default because most people have their thumbs close to the bottom of the screen, so they don't need to reach all the way to the top to get to the URL bar or change tabs.

I just checked in my own, you can change the toolbar to the top of the screen in the "Customize" page of the settings.

Yeah i know. That's just the worst thing I could think of.

That drove me nuts... You can fix it through, I did it immediately when they made the change
