Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Firefox was first released on November 9, 2004 with version 1.0. Over the years, Firefox has gained popularity, holding a market share of over 30% globally before facing a decline due to the emergence of Google Chrome.
Laura Chambers, Mozilla’s Chief Operating Officer, mentioned that Mozilla’s recent challenge has been shifting focus away from their flagship product, Firefox, to other projects. The strategy now is to enhance Firefox’s capabilities to make it a more appealing browser choice.
One of the new features introduced in Firefox 130 is the ability to insert AI-generated images from text input in PDF documents, showcasing the browser’s potential as a versatile tool for Generative AI applications.
