FireFox ... not a flash in the pan.

A story over at News.com details the continued acceptance of FireFox in the market. Mozilla based browsers (of which FireFox is one) now represent 6 percent of the market up from just 3.5% in June. I expect that the trend will continue given the lack of innovation from Microsoft on this front and the impending media hype around FireFox hitting 1.0 status.

It was reported about a month ago that tech sites like News.com had seen Mozilla based browsers representing around 20% of their traffic. At that time I saw essentially the same trend,... now my Mozilla based browser share is up to 28%.... with MSFT taking the other 72%.

At a little less technical site, MarketingPlayBook.com Microsoft has a 75% share with 7% safari and the remaining 18% mozilla based. Two different blogs, each on the technical marketing side, but not targeted toward the developer community seeing huge non-IE based traffic.
