With a combination of some actually good improvements over Firefox, and incredibly shady bundling practices. There was hardly anything you could install a few years back without it forcing Chrome as a standard browser on you.

Firefox did hard hard work, all the way through the dark ages, it kept the flame alive. I've used firefox since the start, I still use firefox, in fact my progression was netscape->mozilla->firefox, and i'll continue using firefox.

But chrome did the impossible, they shifted the Moms and Pops and most unbelievable, the absolute holy grail, the corporate desktop.

Just looked it up and find it hard to believe how low firefox's share is, under 4% overall. I moved back to it about a year ago from chrome and I think it's great.

Chrome killed IE in the companies because it was manageable and packable before Firefox was

Mozilla killed Firefox. Several times, in fact. How many variants of regular and mobile Firefox have there been now because the primary version always ends up a bloated mess?
