The premise in the comment that started this chain is that Firefox's declining market share is caused by a lack of XUL support.

The only way this can be true, but for Pale Moon and similar to have almost no userbase, is if the majority of people are leaving FF for lack of XUL support and going to Chrome/Safari, which makes little sense to me.

People don't know about Palemoon or Seamonkey or Konqueror or other web browsers. They knew about Firefox because it evolved from Netscape -> Mozilla.

Again, this is completely irrelevant to the point that I'm making. It would be possible for people to find out about them if they actually cared about XUL support so much they quit using FF for it.
