They should focus on making firefox faster and more stable on both desktops, netbooks, mobiles, tablets. If they can make firefox faster and more reliable than Safari, IE and Chrome people will use it as an alternative - just like we once did before the days of Chrome.

They should also look into growing in apps and extentions, maybe offer something back to developers.
I do think this is their only true option also but if you think they used to just develop a browser for a desktop and now they also need a browser for iOS, Android and Windows Phone and remember they have tablets as well so that's an extra browser if iOS Tablets, Android Tablets, and Window Tablets and that's before you even consider RIM and Blackberry. It's way more work maintaining all those browsers on different platforms and isn't really possible.
Mr Happy Reviewed by Mr Happy on . The Future of FireFox and Mozilla Just to layout the reason and set the background for the new document Mozilla released yesterday. In short FireFox was started a number of years ago as an alternative to Internet Explorer. IE used to have over 90% of the worlds Internet Users and had monopoly as it was installed by default on all computers. Over the years FireFox grew and ate away at IE's lead but now Google Chrome has over taken FireFox as the main challenger to IE and FireFox have continued to see it's numbers fall. This Rating: 5
