    So where will people decamp to?  I can't see any TB/FF groups on other
    news servers


    In reading the posts to this thread I'm starting to wonder ....

    Could the END of development on the FireFox Browser be in the wind??

    Sure, FF burst on to the scene (after being extracted from the Mozilla
    Suite) to a lot of acclaim, but, over the years, other programs (notably
    Chrome with the support of Google behind it!) have eclipsed it so that
    its market share has dwindled ... if not evaporated.

    So, with the closure of news.mozilla.org, is Mozilla FireFox long for
    this world??
