Firefox ponders marketing overhaul
Posted by Daniel Fleshbourne 41 minutes ago ·(My comments in RED Bold.-Snuffy) The Mozilla Corporation is preparing a number of changes to the marketing of the open source Firefox browser in a bid to further grow market share. "To date, Mozilla has done a reasonably good job getting people to download Firefox,

but our data shows that a very high percentage of those people do not become long term, active Firefox users.

Maybe they just don't like it.
We need to figure out how we overcome the default behaviour of 'clicking on the blue e'," JT Batson from Mozilla's marketing team wrote in a blog posting earlier this year. Have less leaks and holes than IE and stop slamming the competition. When its your fault stop lying about it. Honesty counts.

Approximately half of those who download Firefox never actually install the application.

Apparently it sends info back on installation.
either spyware or keystrokes watcher..

Another 50 per cent of those who do install the software are counted as active users, according to data posted on a Firefox wiki.

The group plans an abundance of changes. The Firefox icon, for instance, could be accompanied by a text that more clearly indicates its purpose, and the developers will attempt to place it more prominently on the user's desktop, the Windows quick launch bar or the dock in OS X.
