    For the idiots out there : Firefox is nowhere close to 25 % of the marketshare

    Ok you seen it somewhere ... and you are quoting an url you didn't bother reading... just read up at the bottom of the table :
    http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
    Why so high Firefox figures?

    W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use Internet Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek out other browsers.

    These facts indicate that the browser figures below are not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is used by at least 80% of the users.

    Anyway, our data, collected over a five year period, clearly shows the long and medium-term trends.
    For thoses who have websites out there, most server side stats programs and even external counters have browser stats. You might wanna look at them and realise (unless you have neard or webmaster traffic) that mozilla (firefox incl) will be arround 3-10 %.

    Sadly, there aren't 25 % of internet savy people out there... if there would be, ransomware programs wouldn't exist.

          I get about 50k hits per day to my galleries and 15% of the surfers use Firefox.

          Thats what my stats tell me.

                          The exact percentage is going to vary from one site to another. Fact of the matter remains, there are a considerable amount of surfers using Firefox nowadays.

                          Even if it's only 5% and you're sending out 10K hits a day, that's 500 of your hits.

                              18% on one site..
                              On another, the stats lump FF in with netscape and that stat is at 30%

                                          I saw Engadget's stats and it had around 37% of it's users using Firefox. It also had a much higher Mac/Safari user number as well.
                                          I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                                              you also have to take into account when saying shit like this....does the site in question tell people to switcj to firefox? because a lot of idiots put those "get firefox" links up on their site, and of course they are going to have more users using firefox

                                                      Anyone with high FF numbers on an adult site has a large amount of non-American traffic. If the numbers are really high, you've probably got a lot of east Europe and beyond traffic.

                                                      100% American traffic will report low FF usage.

Admitingly Firefox is very nice and I use it myself for some of its advanced features but building websites for 2 browsers is just more work.

I also check netscape sometimes.. it becomes second nature after awhile as there's just a few differences and once you get those down, checking your sites in the browsers just takes a few seconds.

                                                                                          MS Internet Explorer 462481 48.6 %

                                                                                          This is the first time I've seen IE dip below 50%. Firefox is at 40% consistently.

                                                                                          So you're way off according to my observations Dre.

You might wanna look at them and realise (unless you have neard or webmaster traffic) that mozilla (firefox incl) will be arround 3-10 %.

                                                                                                      Sadly, there aren't 25 % of internet savy people out there... if there would be, ransomware programs wouldn't exist.
