XiTi Monitor on Firefox 3’s Growth
We all know the release of Firefox 3 was a huge success, with the attempt to win a Guinness World Record for downloads having been achieved.
But how has it been doing since? One of my favorite sources for open source statistics, XiTi Monitor, analyzes Firefox 3 adoption since its release.
In short, not only are Firefox 2 users upgrading very rapidly, but the Firefox family of browsers continues to gain on its main rival. Its pan-European average usage rate ranges from about 32% on weekdays to over 35% on weekends, and continues to grow each quarter.
