Linux - never made it to mainstream users. The general public uses OS X.
You should know how many times you use linux or take advantage of Linux each and every day without you even knowing it.

Let's see, how about:
  • this server we're all posting to
  • Google
  • the phone in my pocket (IDC says Android has a 78% market share as of 4Q13)
  • the TomTom in my car
  • the wireless router under my desk (and possibly your wireless router too)
  • 485 out of the top 500 supercomputers (as of June 2014)
  • the International Space Station (where it replaced Windows in 2013)

It really is all over the place these days, despite it's low desktop OS adoption rate.

Firefox - surpassed in usability and security by Safari and Chrome. Apple's new web services don't even support Firefox anymore.
You mean chrome, the browser built on top of the open-source chromium project?

Or maybe Safari, the browser built on top of the open-source (though Apple-backed) WebKit project?
