Hi,

The question I have asked is very sad/painful to me because I like Firefox browser, its community including developers too.

Recently I read on website and even got news letter in which I noticed some doubts that Firefox is in danger of going extinct, according to the latest statistics from Net Applications. http://askbobrankin.com/is_firefox_burning_out.html?awt_l=7ZlOZ&awt_m=K2t.cL6EXuP6SL

Please share your thoughts about the above topic and oblige.

Thank you.

No, Mozilla is a nonprofit organization with a goal of evangelizing an open internet.

Market share, while important, is not the reason it lives or die. Remember Mozilla living through era when IE taking 96% market?

Duopoly of Google and apple is bad for an open web, Mozilla will not go away.

Check out this mission statement:

The web browser Firefox on desktop is far from being extinct despite what these article writers on this subject recently seem to think.
