100m surfers hunt down Firefox | |
|

| Time: 13:58 EST/18:58 GMT | News Source: PCPro.co.uk | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

With its first anniversary fast approaching, the successful open source Firefox browser has racked up 100m downloads. Often seen as a more secure alternative to the much attacked Internet Explorer, the browser created by Mozilla.org raced past 50m downloads within four months of its full release in May - Firefox breaks 50 million download barrier. A statement on the organisation's website thanks the collaborative efforts of thousands of contributors worldwide, volunteers who have fine-tuned the program's development and helped 'take back the Web'. | ||

"In a development that could upset Firefox fans, at least one major provider of browser usage statistics is now saying that market share numbers for Firefox may have been artificially inflated due to the way tracking tools were recognizing the new Netscape browser from March to July of this year. Netscape 8.0 allows for a user to view Web sites with either Firefox's Gecko or Internet Explorer's display engine, but Gecko is used by default. Because of this capability, Netscape was reporting itself as being a Mozilla browser rather than Netscape itself. The bug was fixed in Netscape version 8.02 released in July, AOL said, which would account for the drop in usage of Firefox and jump in Netscape usage in many surveys following the update. Netscape saw its market share artificially drop from 1.8 percent in March to 1.5 percent in July, but then rebound to 2.2 percent the next month following the fix, according to statistics from NetApplications. The company says much of this increase had to do with the reporting bug." |
