Is Firefox Headed Towards A Massive Decline? Its Co-Founder Thinks So

It's hard to remember (and some never have known) a time when Google and Apple were upstart companies. But companies age, especially when they succeed.

Firefox was part of a "rag tag" open movement when it challenged the hold Microsoft’s Internet Explorer had in the browser market.

Over the past five or so years, Microsoft's share has dropped below 60 percent, and Firefox has 25 percent to 30 percent share of the market.

But success has bred discontent is some quarters. At least some think Firefox is no longer the light, open alternative it once was.
