Firefox 3.0 is Europe's most popular browser

Firefox 3.0 is officially the most popular web browser in Europe, according to StatCounter's latest statistics.

Although Mozilla's browser lags behind Microsoft's Internet Explorer if you add all of the latter's different versions together, FireFox has finally pipped IE7 as the most used individual browser version – with 35.05 per cent of the market, according to the data.

Firefox, benefiting from the fact that it doesn't have the same problem with 'legacy' users who stay on older versions of the browser and the arrival of IE8 which is prising people away from IE7.

Firefox is crap.

IE/Opera/Chrome/Safari tops it.

Just like Microsoft tops Sony.

Firefox & Google Chrome FTW! I don't use IE, it's an inferior wannabe of Firefox, Facts.

but really it's nothing to brag about...

Most people hardly use fire fox's full fledged features. Just simple internet browser people.

Email here and email there and little facebook/myspace and youtube.

pissin contest for everything these days. These days people feel all extra special, like they are part of some elite group, based on their choices for products/services.

Ye IE is so crap, they could have made the 8th better, but nope.

Once people use FF, they see the diff and never use IE again. Like windows media player is ok, but once you use VLC player which plays EVERYTHING, WM starts to look less attractive to use. MS better get their act together, they are loosing on alot of front lately !
