Firefox is becoming increasingly popular, gaining on average an extra 3.1 percent of the market in 32 European countries in the past four months, according to French web-monitoring company XiTi Monitor. Since its launch Mozilla’s web browser, Firefox,has been steadily gaining market share from the dominant browser, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE). In the first week of July 2006, Firefox had 21.1 percent of the market. In the first week of July 2007, Firefox held 27.8 percent of the European market, according to XiTi Monitor’s report.

Although Microsoft still has 66.5 percent of the browser market across Europe, in certain countries Firefox has now become very popular — especially in Eastern Europe. In Slovenia, Firefox has 47.9 percent of the market, while the browser now has over 39 percent market share in Poland, Hungary and Croatia.

I personally haven’t looked back since switching to Firefox!
