Everything you described is extremely technical.

Are you suggesting what you described above, 95% of global users care about? ... and that's why Firefox market share has gone down, because the general person wants a REGEX with live code patching?

Because right now, Firefox has 5% market share (based on the GP linked to graphic).

I'd wager that, 5% market share is roughly proportional to the global market of developers. And the 95% of the world who do not use Firefox today, are the same 95% who don't care about anything you described above.

FF doesn't need 95% users. 30% is enough. No browser should have 95%. That would be a monopoly.

30% was the market share it could have if the management direction was to attract Opera 12 users (and devs too) or at least not cripple FF like they did since v50.
