Why Mozilla Needs To Go Into Survival Mode

Posted by Soulskill on from the bears-are-dangerous dept.

Crazzaper writes "I have been using Firefox for many years, and the war of the browsers has been around for longer than that. It just so happens that now we have a lot of options out there: IE, FF, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and others. People are always talking about how one browser is going to take down another, but maybe that's not the issue at all. It seems very possible that one browser, like Firefox, can be taken down by multiple browsers at once, whether or not there was any intention to compete specifically with Firefox. I hadn't seen it this way, but I do now."

    What does "survival mode" means in this case? Race in new features?

    Have you ever considered using a new profile and examining which plugins you use? Because a clean install of FF3.6 certainly won't do that.
