The developers and end users of Mozilla Firefox are partners with equal rights and duties!!
Where the developers and the end users are partners, there is absolutely no scope for personal considerations to enter the picture. The way in which the Firefox web browsing software application functions clearly indicates that the end user have been placed at the top of the pyramid and that each and every feature that has been incorporated into the Firefox web browsing software application has been done keeping the end user in mind. The fault lies with the developers of all other web browsing software applications who presume that they are superior to the average end users. Just because one possesses the technical expertise necessary to create a web browsing software application does not mean the individual should presume that he or she knows more than the end users.
At the end of day, the end users are the ones who make use of the web browsing software application despite all its flaws and all its problems. The end users, more often than not, have a productive experience on the internet despite the web browser and not because of the web browser. The Firefox web browsing software application recognizes this and that is the reason why the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application do not have any complaints with the manner in which they are being treated. The maturity of the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application is evident from the fact that they do not take undue advantage of their position vis-Ã -vis the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application. Each and every criticism offered by the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application is constructive in nature. While the mistakes of the developers are criticized, at no point of time is their commitment and dedication towards the project questioned.
There is a symbiotic relationship between the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application and the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application. This is a very unique phenomenon. The phenomenon is best symbolized by the hugely successful experiment of creating the Firefox community. The Firefox web browsing software application was the first open source web browsing software application. Further, it was one of the few open source software application that was successful at such a large scale. What made the success of the Firefox web browsing software application even more special was the fact that the web browsing software application was absolutely free. The fact that the web browsing software application was open source and free implied that the end users would play a very important role in the whole process of development and functioning of the web browsing software application.
More often than not, the developers of the software applications make the mistake of ignoring the need of an official and a formal forum for the end users. The developers of the software applications do not bother to create a forum where the end users could come together and discuss about the web browser. More often than not, the presence of many forums leads to fragmentation of information and results in a scenario where a single end user of the software application is unable to extract maximum performance from the software application. The developers of the Firefox web browsing software application remedied this flaw by creating a Firefox community where each and every end user of the Firefox web browsing software application could come together. Further, the Firefox community has been defined in a very loose manner. The Firefox community does not refer to a particular forum or particular web site. Rather, it is the sum total of all web sites, web discussion forums and articles about the Firefox web browsing software application written and maintained by all those individuals who are interested in enhancing the features and popularizing the web browsing software application.
