Hard to argue with them not wanting to support a browser that only makes up 3.3% of browsers used worldwide. Actually, it's probably not even their decision, but the decision of some higher ups that want to save development or software cost.

You might try convincing them by polling how many people in your company wants to use Firefox, though. There could be a significant enough proportion of you guys that do.

Super sad

Wish I could undo my days of recommending Chrome to IE users. Hey, it had Adblock [Plus] ‘n’ tabs ‘n’ stuff…

If we all didn't recommend Chrome, we would still be using IE now, probably.

Am I the only person who's been using Firefox for roughly 20 years? Fuck chrome, fuck internet explorer, fuck oprah, fuck edge, fuck netscape........actually netscape was kinda cool. I liked it.

But, this idea that it's chrome or IE is baffling to me.

Nope, I’m with you 100% on the browser front

Also, fuck Oprah

I've been using Firefox since like version 1.5 and never found a reason to switch off of it. I have Chrome as a backup for shit sites that refuse to work in anything else, but that's all it gets used for.

edit: It's also the only browser I tend to recommend to people and has been that whole time as well.

There is no fucking way Firefox is that unpopular, but actually yeah it's trivial to argue that browser choice is hanging by a thread and it's not a good thing

A lot of Linux Distros seem to have Firefox telemetry disabled by default (even the minimal, one-time ping, telling Mozilla to know there is another user), so that might be skewing some of the stats.
