IE8 and Chrome Are Killing Firefox

“I used to love Firefox. I’m an old Linux user that ran Mozilla
on the Red Hat Linux desktop that kept me efficient while I was
working for a dot-com before the bust. Back then I had to manage a
Windows and Linux network with some AIX thrown in, so being able to
run Linux was a life-saver, and having a decent browser like
Mozilla didn’t hurt.

focused on being a “platform” that it seemed to forget one of the
main reasons people wanted to use it: speed. A fresh install of
Firefox is fast. But if you start installing add-ons that goes
away. Quickly.”
