[...] of a poke recently when it was announced that Firefox has a 38.6% market share in Ireland. A few Irish bloggers rolled in with their stats and they each displayed positive numbers for Firefox, for the most part. [...]

Apologies for the SPAM. I stand corrected. I followed a few links and ended up on Damien’s post where I then followed through to the Mozilla Web site with lots of eye opening stats! Wow.

There was supposed to be a grin after I mentioned Segala but the g in brackets was removed

You can’t measure a browser’s market share using Web site analytics. This is especially true when you choose a blog. This is even more true when talking about blogs which attract a technical audience. Firefox is mostly used by the tech community. Worldwide, the market share is between 10% and 12%. Germany is unusually high.

This however is kinda cool given that Mozilla is already a $300m company with a great market share after just two and a half years!

Here’s an interesting one for you, my friend runs a company which builds all the mainstream Firefox browsers on behalf of Mozilla (PayPal, Google, Yahoo!, eBay, Segala ). His Web site has a dynamic feed which shows the number of downloads. http://glaxstar.com/

I’ve also noticed months where Firefox suddenly storms ahead - I haven’t dug into it much but I think it’s as a result of being found by people using certain toolbar extensions which might be popular on Firefox… not certain though.

[...] A guest blogger on Tom Raftery’s site posted about Firefox’s marketshare in Europe and his site’s statistics. Here is mine for comparison. Internet Explorer on Windows is the dominant browser and operating system but overall Internet Explorer is just 3% more than Firefox across all operating systems. [...]

IE on Windows in the lead but Firefox not far behind over all operating systems.

Here’s a different kind of specialised audience
imeall.blogspot.com - Irish language blog

Firefox 33%
IE7 27%
IE6 23%
Mozilla 1.X 11%
Safari 5%
Nokia 3.X 1%

… according to sitemeter

That’s a pretty specialised audience though. Our figures (for a HE careers service running at about 50k visits a month come to:

1. Internet Explorer 75.81%
2. Firefox 18.68%
3. Safari 4.02%

(Mac visits run at about 5% by the way)

I suspect 22-25% alternative browsers is more typical.
