Mozilla: Firefox over 350 Million Users and 30% Market Share.

The Firefox open source browser accounts for over 350 million users worldwide, a percentage which is roughly equivalent with a 30% share of the global browser market, according to statistics released in the Mozilla Q1 2010 Analyst Report – State of the Internet. The report is a “somewhat standardized” perspective over the state of the Internet from Mozilla’s perspective, revealed Ken Kovash, manager of Analytics for the open source browser maker. While the Mozilla Q1 2010 Analyst Report looks at Firefox, it provides no information on rival browser. Fortunately enough, Net Applications published its own statistics of browser usage share worldwide today for March 2010.

The next line of attack for virus.malware writers? Greater popularity equates to a greater user base to attack. I am hearing this is possibly one reason people are moving to Chrome, but it's only a matter of time before the writers concentrate on that browser. Plus ca change.

Thanks for the link JMH.
