Firefox has reached 300.000.000 downloads since its initial release back in November 9, 2004.

I guess that's a proof that Firefox is going well Smiley

Looking through our various stats on our technology sites Firefox accounts for just over 70% with IE taking a messily 20% however on our clients sites Firefox is just 22% with  IE having almost all of the remainder.

Guess while Firefox is now the defacto browser for technologists, it still is not making any wwhere near the inroads with joe public.

Here at webdigity Firefox is used for the 40% of the traffic.

I agree that technology educated people use Firefox more, but this is about to change as those are the people who create the trends in IT Smiley

BTW the new IE is so buggy that I think Firefox is going to go even better.

I think our stats are a bit off since one of the sites is a Firefox plugin, but removing it and the result only drops to 65% for our technology sites, interestingly there is almost no other Mozilla clones, though an occasional Netscape 7 browser comes along, and I forgot to change my user agent not so long ago, so we have had a spate of TRON 0.0, coming from the office machines. Here (VSkills) we use firefox 2, 67%, Safari 16%, Opera 16% and then use IE 6/7 for testing purposes.

Yes it is, the biggest problem here is that windows comes with IE installed and ready to use. Why would you download FF if IE is already on your computer and working for you?

It's kind of like buying a car with a pre-installed stereo system, a lot of people would choose the lesser car with a crappy stereo system instead of the better car without a stereo system, even if the crappy car costs more. (Like the crappy Microsoft OS costing more than a better one)
