     @ArneBab @davidrevoy @mozilla If you look at https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity it's been on a slow descent from ~200M in 2019 to ~160M in 2024.

     @davidrevoy In the context of this: while many of the actions of @mozilla feel annoying (i.e. axing FirefoxOS just before it became widespread in South America) and while it doesn’t look like that if you plot a market share which includes the massively growing number of mobile devices with a bundled browser:

     Firefox has been mostly keeping its users since 2017.

     @lanodan That’s interesting — thank you! it looks like two different slopes: one mostly constant until 2022, and then something happened that made it worse.

     It lost 5 Million users (when looking only at the maximum) per year from 2020 to 2022, and from 2022 to 2024 it lost 10 to 15 million users per year.

     That’s a doubled or tripled loss rate that’s not yet in my graphs.

     Do you remember what @mozilla did in 2022?

     @davidrevoy Oh, I hadn't heard… I.. I just don't get how Mozilla keeps making these choices that burn community goodwill.

     But your comic is a fun, lighthearted way to represent it. One day that fox of fire will have a good caretaker.

     @davidrevoy I left Mozilla after a decade of working at the Foundation because it was more than obvious that it had no idea wtf it was doing and they were no longer aligned with my moral compass. And they've just kept on reinforcing that over and over the last few years.

     @ArneBab sure. But that it the bare minimum. The numbers should be increasing, even a just a bit, or they should at least stick better with their principles.

     @pbaesse for the numbers to increase, I see three things as necessary:

     - antitrust regulation against bundling browsers on mobile
     - having a serious offering on mobile
     - supporting the existing users in spreading Firefox.

     Reason: the number of desktop computers is decreasing.

     @ArneBab Sure, but that is normal. We will probably never agree with every decision, but we should with the most, or more importantly with the direction that the NGO or some foundation are heading to.

     @pbaesse That sounds plausible.

     Though I’m not happy with Thunderbird having broken Pretty Easy Privacy (pEp) just two months after that actually started to work for people who sent me messages.

     @Lioh I sincerly feel sorry to read it. I hope you'll forgive me for haven't been able to anticipate this particular side effect for the audience not knowing the original meme, or not clicking on the ref. 😔

     I really thought it would be read just as a tiny joke in front of a news I had hard time to cope (something that happens too often with Mozilla).

     @davidrevoy thanks for pointing that out. I did not see the reference and I also did not know the original meme until know (which I think is already quite offensive in itself). I think posts like this are a hit in the face of the queer community and I just don't like them.

     @Lioh I feel sorry in advance if another meaning than "Mozilla leadership once again are making clown things" can be interpreted from this drawing.

     If it is hurting a community. That's not my intention at all with this comic.

     Also, if it has something to do with the makeup symbols or the colors of the hair, it is just inspired/inherited from the original meme (src: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/putting-on-clown-makeup ).

     Thank you for pointing it, I hope my answer will participate to disambiguate anything wrong.

     @pbaesse @davidrevoy note that Mozilla is not the Mozilla Foundation, though. Which is another hilarious topic.

     @davidrevoy Browsers based on Gecko Firefox and Chrome Blink

     are compromised, ecause both companies updating the main build are either becoming, or are ad companies.

     Switching to browser based on Webkit is a good idea for long term privacy.
