Ensight FireFox Usage: 40%

Category: From My Life, IT ThoughtsJeremy Wright @ 10:54 am

I nearly had a heart attack just a minute ago.

Ensight’s FireFox/Mozilla usage is now at 40%. IE is at 55%. The rest occupy the rest.

This is a surge of 5% in a month. Crazy. I never thought I’d see the day IE would not be the most used browser on any of my sites. I guess I was shortsighted, because at this trend it’ll happen before summer.

As I said, crazy.

    Interesting.

    It really depends on this site – who goes to your site? Varies alot; I’ve seen sites claiming IE 97%, and IE 12%.

    Personally, I shifted FROM Firefox TO IE. :-)

    Sorry, I messed up your stats. I was trying out the new “Reload page every 2 seconds and send different HTTP headers” extension :p

    My site looks like crap with it, and to add insult to injury, my Firefox stats have gone through the roof.

    Bugger, time to recode and test.

    BTW… if first impressions count for anything, FF is a bit like sobering up to an ugly date.

    Yeah, crazy like a Firefox. :-)

    My IE is only 49% now :-)

    I can’t wait to see the day when Firefox is truly this widespread. Stats like this are common for tech-oriented blogs.

    Next in line is Linux. Hopefully…

    I’ve got 41% IE & 38% Firefox but I talk a lot about Firefox (tips and tricks) so it’s not unusual for my site.
