    Previously I noticed that Firefox user count had stopped declining for the first time in many years. Only later did I realise that it was probably due to all the fuss about Chrome dropping MV2, not anything Mozilla themselves had done. Hopefully this will keep the trend line going up a little further. Who knows, maybe Mozilla will miraculously come to its senses before it resumes the long slow decline.

      Where are you looking? I haven’t seen the same rise in users you have… By Mozilla’s own reports , it looks like Firefox is holding steady, not falling but not really rising either.

      Hard agree that Mozilla can be at its best by trying to hold onto (read: not alienate) its userbase and avoid jumping onto trends. Don’t mess with perfection.

        The monthly active users count there is not down compared to last year at this time, although it’s not up by as much as even the small amount that it was a couple months ago. Holding steady is a departure from the trend, the best it’s done in a long time.
