Firefox Browser Gaining Share vs. Evil Empire

WebSideStory released their latest data on web browser share showing Firefox gaining a full percentage point to 5% from last December. Microsoft's Internet Explorer is down to 90.3% from 91.8% share. Firefox has been downloaded 19 million times since its launch 10 weeks before.

I'm finding myself using Firefox more and more to get away from nasty ActiveX popups and Spyware that affects the vulnerable IE especially for important transactions like online banking. Also the Firefox third party plug-in market is flourishing with neat "download all the images" on a page to a directory type features.

To show how bleeding edge our readers are. The latest breakdown for FirstAdopter.com users is: 34% to Firefox, 52% to Internet Explorer, 4% for Opera, 7% to Safari, and the rest is other. That's freaking amazing. [Discuss]
