We noted Firefox 3's spectacular eight million downloads in a day when discussing the recent launch of IE9,
and that mark shall live on as a record for another day. Firefox 4
looks to have a had a thoroughly successful debut, going past the five
million milestone within the first 24 hours of its release, but it
hasn't quite been able to overshadow its predecessor. And before you go
comparing its numbers to the latest Internet Explorer, do be cognizant
that FF4 released on a wider set of platforms,
rendering direct stat comparisons a little dicey. That's not stopping
StatCounter, however, who notes that the latest Firefox already has a
1.95 percent share of the browser market, almost exactly double what IE9
can claim so far. Better get working on that XP compatibility, eh
Microsoft? |
