Firefox Hits 35% Market Share In Europe, 22% Globally

Analysis – Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 has been available for 18 days and remains the company’s weakest web browser at launch since version 3. While the software now seems to be close to 4% market share, it appears to be unable to stop the bleeding of other IE versions. Since the beginning of the year, Mozilla’s Firefox has picked up more than half of the users IE lost; the other half went to Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome. This trend is evident in new market share numbers published by Net Applications and StatCounter, which show that Firefox hit a new record market share in March.

This is very good news tho,hope to see FireFox rocking once again & hitting heads,false ones like IE.

i think one of the reasons y people feel firefox is better simply coz its much more reliable in terms of security and also the releases have very few bugs which really makes it stand way out of the leagues of IE and others

First Look: Mozilla Firefox FX 3.6 Alpha 1

Chicago (IL) - Although Firefox 3.5 (formerly Firefox 3.1) is still in beta, Mozilla is already developing Firefox 3.6 code-named Namoroka (a Madagascar national park.) Slated for an early-to-mid 2010 release, the browser will be marketed as Firefox.next (FX) moniker in a nod to new technologies set to take Firefox to the next level. Speed remains the paramount focus, especially in terms of user interface improvemens, startup time and tab handling. There is also a better integration with the host OS and web apps, new personalization and customization features, souped up tabs management. An all-new tasks-based navigation should keep feature-hungry users happy. The first nightly build that dropped late last week provides us with an early glimpse of exciting FX improvements.

Introducing the Firefox Taskfox Prototype

The Firefox Superbar is about to be kicked to the next level with the integration of Ubiquity. Right now all that is available from Mozilla is the Taskfox Prototype, an illustration of what Ubiquity blended into Firefox's fabric would look like to the end user. Of course, you can watch the video embedded at the bottom of this article in order to get a perspective over Taskfox for Mozilla's open-source browser. Taskfox is essentially a feature Mozilla plans for Firefox, and which was inspired by the ubiquity experiment.
