Mozilla: Following In Sun's Faltering Footsteps?

snydeq writes: The trajectory of Mozilla, from the trail-blazing technologies to the travails of being left in the dust, may be seen as paralleling that of the now-defunct Unix systems giant Sun. The article claims, "Mozilla has become the modern-day Sun Microsystems: While known for churning out showstopping innovation, its bread-and-butter technology now struggles." It goes on to mention Firefox's waning market share, questions over tooling for the platform, Firefox's absence on mobile devices, developers' lack of standard tools (e.g., 'Gecko-flavored JavaScript'), and relatively slow development of Firefox OS, in comparison with mobile incumbents.

It's now a Chrome wanna-be, so just use Chrome

[Anonymous Coward]

Firefox has become the high school loser that tries to be popular by badly copycatting a popular person.

Anyone have any crazy rumors we can start about where Chrome is going? See if we can troll Firefox devs into implementing something completely asinine? Cuz you know if they think that's what Chrome's doing, they'll do it without thinking.

You know what I am just going to come out and say it. Its not a human rights violation or a violation of equal protection.

I frankly don't care if two same sex people want to get married or if a "transgender" person wants to use a bathroom with a picture on the door not reflective of their body type or not.

Nobodies rights are being violated though by banning same sex marriage, or this bathroom nonsense.

Homosexuals are just as free to marry someone with the opposite set of genitalia as everyone else, and just a restricted from marring someone with the same genitals as everyone else. Love has nothing to do with it. There is no law that requires you to love the person to whom you are married or the person you intend to marry.

Same thing with this bathroom stuff. Got a penis, use the damn mens room, got a vagina, ladies room. Its about how you look not how you feel.

Its all prefectly EQUAL
