Looks like that was a trial balloon and as it was shot down under heavy fire Sarah Huckabee-Sanders says that Trump isn't intending to fire Mueller. No comment regarding whether he has been considering it recently.
No doubt the Deputy A/G's testimony before Congress that he would not obey any order to sack Mueller unless good cause could be proven would have helped Trump make up his mind.
One theory is that his friend floated the trial balloon on his own initiative (as he claims was the case) to show Trump that he would be in for a world of trouble if he did pull another Comey-like surprise. He tends to shoot first and then ask questions later. This way, all the questions were asked and answered before he pulled the trigger.
