[wlug] Re: Ask Slashdot: What Should Mozilla Do To Boost Firefox's Market Share?

'Mozilla's Firefox once commanded a large chunk of the browser market share, but now it stands under a pitiful 5 percent.'

What is a “market”? It’s where participants trade things of value. Like where one party provides a good or service to another, and the other party pays them money for it. Where is the “market” when you are downloading and using a piece of software for free? There isn’t one.
