This is true. As someone who had a work time card I could fill out on Solaris using Firefox. This the new time card website came out that was “ie” only and we had to log onto a virtual NT server do our time card. Ugh. It was a nightmare. Then slowly Firefox came back. It was short lived majority but I still use it. I rather like it.

The "death knoll" was dev tools for chrome - they hired the firefox guy who was doing better work, then you couldn't lift an arm without hitting some web dev thinking they were cool for using chrome.

Firefox got better dev tools and mozilla did random crap for a bit, meanwhile brain-dead devs insisted on continuing to use chrome. When the devs supported it, they started favoring the googlified things.

Honestly it's a terrible browser - we are back to the bad old IE days (almost).
