Given that Firefox itself is declining in usage, I'd be surprised if that would have been enough.



That always depends on the market. While Chrome leads the US market like IE used to, Firefox is for example the most-used browser in Germany. Maybe it would have been a valuable approach for Mozilla to work with a specific market when introducing Persona, e.g. the big German webmail providers.


What if there was a way to "spin out" Persona from Mozilla? How many devs and how many resources would it take for a bare-bones Persona Foundation to get the job done?
