I'm not kidding when I said that Firefox is a niche browser. Folk have to actively look to use it. They have to search it out, figure out how to download it, ignore all the warnings and “suggestions” that they should keep using whatever the native browser is, avoid all the ads for Chrome as the better replacement browser, ignore all the sites saying “Your browser is out of date” because they couldn't be arsed to test things in Firefox, etc. Firefox users are not normal. They are deeply abnormal, and frankly a lot of them are proud of that.

The problem is that Leadership doesn't know how to deal with that.

I've had the feeling that the Mozilla leadership actively hates it's userbase, loathes it at the very least.

They want the average chrome user. They havent realised they are not going to get that, so they lose more market share.
