> Firefox is getting pushed out by Chrome […] so that cash would be better spent on tech

I have to disagree. Chrome doesn’t push out Firefox because it’s better (which it’s not), but because of anticompetitive actions from Google and a multimillion dollar marketing effort, which included for months massive ad campaigns all over AdSense/AdWords.

Oh, I didn't mean that it was being pushed out because it was necessarily "worse tech", just that it's happening.

Don't forget about the ad campaigns in the real world! There was a browser being advertised in the subway. Now way Mozilla could compete on that level of marketing.
