Firefox and Mozilla are going through a mid-life crisis
A week ago, Mozilla shed some light on its future, laying out a plan on how the browser is going to dramatically change in the upcoming months. While most of us understood "Chrome extensions were coming to Firefox," it is not as simple as we all thought.
First of all, Mozilla seems dead serious on implementing these changes. If you haven't been paying attention to what's going on in the Firefox Nightly and Developer Edition channels, the changes are already upon us. No ifs or buts.
Second of all, unlike previously thought, Mozilla is not accepting its role as second fiddle to Chrome. The Mozilla dev team has a pretty solid plan on how they can change the browser's "always crashing" image, and even if we don't like it, this includes a severe and very profound change to Firefox's core code.
