Bryce Wray highlights a sad fact that Firefox's usage is close to falling under 2% in US government web browser analytics. This would trigger a downward spiral for Firefox support not just in the US government (which has a rule of only officially supporting browsers above 2% usage), but more widely in the web development community. Why bother to support a browser with less than 2% usage when 84% of your users are on Chrome or Safari and the other 10% are derivatives of either Chrome or Safari anyways? Sad to see Firefox atrophy like this. I assume the bulk of usage is from smartphones/tablets where Chrome and Safari are the defaults. It's tough to compete with the default.
