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?

They don't even want our money. They just let you donate to Mozilla foundation, which does other projects.

Firefox is developed by Mozilla corporation which is funded by the google deal.

I donate to several FOSS projects including monthly to KDE but I won't donate to Mozilla until I can actually make sure my money goes to firefox. And ideally not their overpaid CEO either, no.
