What does that even mean? People used Firefox because it was better. It's that simple. No one forced anyone to use anything.

People used Firefox because it was installed on their computers by the neighborhood nerd. Something similar must happen now. People have to cease using gmail, google search and google maps.

Alternatives need to be built and advertised.

People used Firefox because their nerd friend or family member helped them download and install it. We got to 100 million downloads almost exclusively on word of mouth. It's not enough to have a better product, people have to learn about it and we did that with SpreadFirefox and other efforts I helped initiate so I'm very familiar with this. You don't have to trust my appeal to my own authority here, but I doubt you've got anyone closer to Firefox's early growth than me so maybe worth listening.
