Firefox is still used by millions of people every day. It's not going anywhere.

Just like for the Android/iOS situation, I think the US is an outlier that skews all global statistics because of their weight.

"Sky is falling" headlines around Firefox, Apple, Linux and a host of other technologies miss the point that these platforms may be small, but have dedicated followings, often with niche use cases that can't be replicated elsewhere.
Again, focusing on how the usage share is abysmal compared to competitors while consistently shrinking down to where it is over the last decade lets you easily see why this particular headline isn't clickbait. Even with millions of users, Firefox having such low usage share, especially compared to alternative competitors, is a risk to its main funding source. This is a problem for an organization like Mozilla which makes very little from its users vs one like Apple which has become the most valuable in the world through the exact opposite.
