Firefox does indeed gain ground

Recently I checked my browser logs to see what impact Firefox has made on browser share. I was shocked to find at more than 15% share. Now I know that wirelessbandit visitors are sort of the early adopter type... In any case, it will be interesting to see where this share is a year from now. My opinion -- it is simply a "browser fad". Once new technology like Microsoft's MSN Search Beta Toolbar takes hold and requires IE, people will come back to IE... We'll see.

One gotcha... You must register with JiWire and verify an email address before you can get a code to enter into the installer... There ain't no such thing as free lunch...
