Those predicting the end of Mozilla Firefox are merely exposing their immaturity
While the Firefox community may have begun its existence as a community of end users of the Firefox web browser, it will not to take time for the community to grow and become a community of the end users of web browsing software application at large.
This is a certainty because the end users of the web browsing software application have become very responsible. Recently, a survey revealed that end users of the Firefox web browsing software application are most likely to install the latest patches and the latest versions of the web browsing software application.
There is absolutely no doubt that the end users of the Firefox web browser would continue this habit even if they cease to be end users of the Firefox web browsing software application and become end users of any other web browsing software application.
The Firefox web browser has taught the end users to look beyond the brand of the web browser and the corporate entity behind the web browsing software application. The Firefox web browsing software application has compelled the end users to look towards their requirements and their expectations and to act accordingly.
This has resulted in the creation of a vibrant and dynamic community of end users of web browsing software applications. The fact that the Internet Explorer web browsing software application was forced to step up its work on version 7.0 and is planning to release version 8.0 of the web browsing software application within a year or two clearly indicates the effect that the Firefox web browser has had.
The Internet Explorer web browsing software application was updated just once in the past to six years. However, the next update for the web browsing software application shall be delivered in a year or two. This change in the attitude and approach of the developers of the web browsing software application is the result of the success of the Firefox web browser.
Now, considering the deep impact that the Firefox web browsing software application has had on the web browser market, it is ridiculous to even suggest that the Firefox web browsing software application can be removed overnight.
Considering the fact that the end users of the web browsing software application are a lot more aggressive and are a lot more choosy about their web browser, can the end users of the Firefox web browser be convinced to switch over to a new entrant in the web browsing software application market?
Reason and logic dictates that the web browsing software application that has had such a significant impact on the web browser market shall never be removed from the market. However, the developers of other web browsing software applications do not think so.
This reveals the immaturity of the developers and also shows that the competitors of the Firefox web browser have not learned the lesson that the web browsing software application has been trying to teach. The developers still live in a world where the end users would act as per the dictates of the developers.
That world has passed and has been buried deep under the ground. The Firefox web browser has contributed to the growth of a more dynamic and vibrant world where end users rule the roost. The success of the Firefox web browsing software application and the experiences gained from the success clearly indicate that this is the smartest way to go about the whole process.
As long as the end users are in charge, the progress of the web browsing software application market and the World Wide Web shall always be in the right direction
