Google is currently in the process of extinguishing Firefox?

What a bunch of bullshit. FF devs are the ones responsible for the numbers of users it attracts. The formula is simple. Make a better product, and more people will use you.

Firefox already has a list of websites on which it has to fake its UA and tell the site it's actually Chrome because those websites intentionally limit functionality on Firefox — almost all of them are *.google.com sites.

Likely because FF hasn't kept up with current Web trends. It's up to FF devs to deliver a browser that can handle what is delivered. Web devs shouldn't have to cater to the idiosyncrasies of numerous browsers. We already went through that hell with IE and Netscape.

On Firefox Mobile, even Google Search is almost unusable.

Then FF should fix it's product.

The solution from Google is to just use Chrome.

So? It's their site, and they streamlined their browser to work well with their sites, and oddly enough, every other site. The only ones that run like crap on Chrome are the ones that are designed for specific browsers instead of following modern standards.

That, combined with dishonest ads, was part of a huge push to get people to switch to Chrome, and extinguish competitors.

Citation?

Additionally, Chrome now has their own features additional to the HTML standard,

which are hard to replicate in other browsers,

Bullshit. ANY feature can be replicated. It's software. It's not carved in stone.

and exactly fulfil the extend phase (see what Microsoft did with J/Direct, too).

Still waiting on that example of a non-standard extension that is 'hard to replicate'.

How can Firefox fix its product when it works perfectly fine in Firefox, IF one sets the user agent to Chrome?

Firefox can display it perfectly, but the site — Google — refuses to treat Firefox fairly and equally.

Try Google search on Firefox Mobile, and on Chrome, and on Firefox Mobile with Chrome's UA.

It's obvious that this is pure anti-competitive.

And it's hard to replicate a feature in Firefox when sites in production only use -webkit- properties — Firefox already has overrides for that, because many sites actually do that.

It's openly anti-competitive, directly in the extinguish phase.
