Firefox is at ~3% market share now. Mozilla lost a full point over the last year. https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

As a Firefox user, I'm not completely surprised. There are multiple video call applications I tried to use that didn't work on Firefox (on Linux at least). I personally have Chrome installed for the sole purpose of resolving those situations and go right back to FF. I'm scared though for FireFox, because they aren't doing too hot. I don't want a Google dominated web. Having the only two real web competitors be Apple and Google is a terrifying idea. Hell, it doesn't event have to be FireFox, I just want some more competition, but browsers are so complex at this point that I don't think we can ever get to that point.

I hear you, I've been working on peercalls.com, a video conferencing app, for the past few years and it works on all major browsers and platforms, including Firefox.

That said, I'm bummed out that E2EE using insertable streams / SFrame transform is only currently supported in Chrome.

I've also noticed that very few devs in the WebRTC community actually test stuff in Firefox.

Depends on the stat tracker website. Some say 6-7%, but that seems too too high.

It should have a higher share. Microsofts anticompetitive “Firefox might be malware” pop ups are absurdly destructive

Mozilla making a big song and dance out of resolving 14 year old issues like non-native context menus really rubbed me the wrong way and I uninstalled Firefox.

Surely changing how tabs look in the latest update must be gaining Mozilla mad points by now. \s
