Firefox - innovation and quality personified

Had the firefox entered the industry a little earlier,it would have been the leading browser in terms of usage by now. I say in terms of usage bcos we all know its the leader in speed, providing security. Although it's not the most used browser now, it is the largest used single version evident from the monthly surveys by w3schools,a reputed website "http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp". Even though considering IE5,IE6,IE7 as one they lead only bcos of reasons like:
1)IE being the default browser in windows, the most used operating system.
2)internet community which is largely browsed by pedestrians, who never dare installing
any other softwares, and many of them do not even have a faint idea of any other browser. they are unfairly obsessed that internet is nothing but IE.
But fortunate for the mozilla corporation that for all the efforts they have put in the project starting from zero when the IE was the dictator in the arena they have improved a lot. one can understand that only a superior software can replace a leader, and firefox is taking large steps towards attaining that edge.
usage statistics comparison:
in jan 2004 IE-84.7 firefox-5.5
in apr 2008 IE-54.8 firefox-40.1
at this pace it doesn't take long before firefox engulfs more of IE users into its belly.
go for firefox. the traffic to the site was so heavy prior to the release on tuesday that the server could not handle so many requests.with the advent of the latest firefox,it's sure to catch many more an eye. wish firefox on its record(sure to be held) and increase its margin by downloading it either at "http://www.spreadfirefox.com/" or in the top of the side bar here.
