    Who cares? I use Firefox but why do I care if the US government does? I thought they were still using Netscape on Windows ME

      Did you read the article? This is about how the government’s web developers could stop writing websites that support Firefox. You might have to switch to Chromium to use government websites.

      When I worked for the USDA in 2010 we had several web applications that depended on Internet Explorer 6.
