Firefox Past 10 Percent Share

Published on April 4, 2006 By Island Dog In Personal Computing

Web analytics firm Net Applications announced Monday that the open source Firefox browser has finally passed 10 percent market share, according to the firm's statistics for March. The 10.05 percent usage was up from 9.75 percent in February. Microsoft's Internet Explorer still holds a commanding lead with 84.7 percent of the market, Net Applications said.

However, according to another analytics firm, Firefox had already surpassed 10 percent market share last November. OneStat.com reported at the time that Mozilla browsers had reached 11.51 percent usage globally based on a sample of two million users from 100 companies.

Don't think FF will ever surpass IE in the long run but you never know...I still like using piggy back IE browers like Avant (my personal favorite). Of course others like Opera have their supporters too. Just wanted to say congrats to the FF team. If someone would be so kind, I think I read somewhere (or heard) that the original FF creators are no longer pursuing FF development(ie, updates/fixes, new features, etc....is this true?? Thx! ID for the info!
