The article wasn't talking about the browser's development but it's marketshare. To me it doesn't look like they have too much to worry about there. They are still ahead of Safari on the desktop and are still way ahead of Opera.

I don't believe Firefox will ever gain marketshare again but Mozilla still has some time to come up with another bread winner before they've lost relevance. They got some serious technology in the works with Servo and there is still lots room to improve browsing on mobile for those that are paying attention.

What's the leading browser on mini-computers and mainframes? Mozilla is not a significant player in mobile and that does not look to be changing and that's where we are headed.

Sure, but they still have time before we get there and like I said before there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of web browsing on mobile. There is a reason people prefer to use apps instead of the web on mobile but not the desktop.
