Mozilla Gains On Microsoft
Mozilla’s Firefox Web browser continues to burn a path into Microsoft’s house--the PC.
The open source Web browser software is gaining on Microsoft's Internet Explorer, amassing 11.3% of the global browser market, up from 9.5% at the beginning of the year, according to Web traffic tracking from Net Applications. IE’s share slid from 85.3% in January to 83.6% in July.
In the U.S., Firefox’s claim is even larger, with 15.8% in July up from 14.1% at the end of last year, according to Web analytics firm OneStat.
When the final version of IE7 launches, it will be pushed out to Windows users via an automatic update, the company said Wednesday. Users will have a choice whether or not to install the software.
