Just checked this month's (so far) stats, and IE6 is a couple % higher than IE7....

Rather predictably, Firefox has a single figure %, Opera has less than 1%.


And the muppet using pre v1.0 of Firefox should be shot ;)

Guilty as charged, no doubt. Probably on one of the Linux boxes I've got kicking around.

Keep up with Firefox's patching - there have been lots of critical flaws being reported now for some time.  Unlike IE, it is not done with Windows Update.

Firefox 1.5.011 for me. It has been very stable, no real problem during that time.  :)

Used it for a couple of years and the kids are on it now.

IE at work though but I prefer Firefox.

All pre v2 are seriously flawed. Upgrade it!

One of the real problems with Firefox is the 'Linux Symdrome' - its not Windows/IE, and therefore it must be secure.  Most Linux distros have now got to grips with security, and patching, but not the application vendors
