Firefox Approaching 10% Market Share

FireFox is approaching 10% market share -- a significant milestone in its bid to steal thunder away from Microsoft’s de-facto industry standard browser, Internet Explorer, according to NetApplications, a seller of Web-based measurement applications.

Browser/Market Share:
Microsoft Internet Explorer – 86.56%
FireFox – 8.71%
Safari – 1.93%
Netscape – 1.55%
Opera – 0.59
Mozilla – 0.58%
Other – 0.07%

I understand these figures come from NetApplications monitoring of some 40,000 websites and the traffic to them - but do we know anything about the sites they monitor?
Are they, for example, mainly in the US? Are they consumer sites? Or technical sites?
I run a non-technical B2B site in the UK and our current figures show just 1.9% Firefox penetration.
I don't dispute these figures at all - but I guess what I'm saying is that I think it will be a long time before Firefox gets 8% of the corporate market (though I hope I'm wrong!)

You're right, we don't know the real basis of their numbers. But they did prove that the trend for Firefox is up. And that's a good thing.
