Better late than never!
Ok, so why did it take this long to fix?And while it might be tempting to get conspiratorial and assume that not fixing a Mozilla Firefox bug is Microsoft's way of trying to get users to switch to Microsoft's own Edge web browser, it likely has a lot more to do with the issue being so limited in scope.
Firefox is a great web browser, but it's hardly the most popular. According to StatCounter's global Browser Market Share data, Firefox is used by just 2.93% of all users, while Chrome and Edge, which are based on the same Chromium foundation, account for just shy of 70% of the web browser market . So, really, Microsoft probably felt it had a number of better things to do with its developer's time than to go track down a niche performance bug affecting so few users. And, according to, Mozilla's own developers appear to have been integral to getting the bug fixed, so it's likely that Mozilla had to do most if not all of the heavy lifting here.Sign up to receive daily breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis, deals and more from the world of tech.
