Image via WikipediaMozilla release Firefox 3.1 beta 1 today. Reading through the release notes and the blog posts about the new beta it is clear that Google Chrome's biggest effect on Mozilla Firefox was to encourage the Firefox developers to setup innovation and development a notch.
Mozilla had been costing for a while. IE ceased to be challenger. Google Chrome has taken over that role (at least for now). If Google Chrome never gets more than 1% of the market, I would still call it a success by giving the FireFox developers the necessary kick in the pants.
