Great job Mozilla. I hope that Firefox will one day be as popular as Chrome or even more! ❤️

Oh it was already- Before Chrome became popular. When Chrome came out, only weird people used it. All my friends were FF kids.

Chrome took over FF because of Chrome being a default Android web browser after replacing its vanilla/AOSP browser.

It was better than Firefox at the time. Firefox only needed to be better than IE so it has become a bit of a ram-hungry bloaty mess, then Chrome came along and was actually really quick. How the tables have turned.

Also being synonymous with “using Google”, where people thought they had to get chrome to use Google.com.
