Out of curiousity I graphed 2004:

Right, we should get more "content providers"/"web developers" to use Firefox. By designing/redesigning more webpage that is Firefox-friendly, more regular users would switch to Firefox so as to get a better browsing experience. ;-)

P.S. Tabular data should be marked up using the <table> element (with corresponing <thead>, <tbody> and probably <tfoot>), right?

minghong, yes, tabular data probably should be marked up as a table but for weblog psots I like plaintext better :-) If it was some kind of formal document then I'd probably do the work to put it into a table. This is just a simple blog post though :-)

Now you need to get into Corporations.

I wonder what is on all these brand new PCs that people got for christmas. I hope it's Firefox, or these Windows boxes are going to be owned by the spam gangs before the year is over. Did the Mozilla foundation get some OEMs to preinstall Firefox? I saw some discussion about this, but I do not recall the outcome.

As Ludovic Hirlimann stated correctly, Firefox now must get into corporations. Universities, public libraries and governmental offices would not be bad, either.

I see from the last posting to bug #231062 that an MSI file appears to be ready. This looks good.

I pulled the stats from http://www.thecounter.com/stats/ and made a chart:

In december 2004 there are quite a lot of unknowns, of wich some might be firefox since I summed the nameless (that I suspect is firefox) and the "unknown".

Note that the numbers for July 2001 through September 2001 and May 2003 through December 2003 are identical, which suggest errors in the data. Also, the small sample sizes, and the resulting skewed data, for August 2000 and April 2001 are problably due to errors. In January 2003 it seems MSIE 6 is counted as Unknown.

The January numbers are up now. IE looses another 0.8% which looks like it has gone straight to the Mozilla group who pick up 0.8%. They finally break Firefox numbers out so you can see what Mozilla platform is being used.
