The saddest part about all is that Mozilla sacrificed backwards compatibility, and broke uncounted Firefox extensions, when they completely rewrote their renderer a few years ago.
And their reason was because they claimed it would be just as fast or faster than Chrome, and it isn't.
But even before that Mozilla had a long history of breaking extensions willy-nilly, for both Firefox and Thunderbird, and every time they did they lost more users.
I've really hated to watch it happen, but the end result was quite predictable. Every year they're losing more and more users, and they sincerely have never seemed to understand why.
