Firefox hits record market share

Mozilla had a big month as Firefox is closing in on the 20% market share mark. Microsoft's Internet Explorer continues to lose share.

Firefox has been playing with the 20% market share mark for some time now. Back in July we reported that the browser has begun jumping over 20% on several days and this trend has solidified since then. In October, Firefox' average market share as measured by Net Applications was 19.97%, up 0.51 points from 19.46% in September.

Anyone tried or trying Mozillas new "Minefiled" browser (still in alpha stage)?

I've been using it for a while and it's working great and super fast, want to give it a spin? >

For windows:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/... Then click "firefox-3.1b2pre.en-US.w in32.installer.exe" which is the second from the bottom. Just download and install as usual.

Or:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/... Then click "firefox-3.1b2pre.en-US.w in32.zip" No install required, just run directly from the folder.

Mac/Linux:
Same link, just use the appropriate downloads.

And new features are about to land in trunk soon, probably before beta 2, features like private browsing.

Kakkoii6412d ago (Edited 6412d ago )

It's not an actual new browser named Minefield.

Minefield is just what they call Firefox versions that are still in testing. (Still out in the minefield looking for mines.) :P

Also, if your choose to use the beta. Make sure to go to about:config and set 'javascript.options.jit.chrome ' to TRUE for increased performance.

Also, you can make old add-on works, by downloading them, opening them with winrar. And editing the install.rdf file with notepad. Change the maxversion line from 3.0.* to 3.* and you'll be able to install it always until Firefox 4 lol.

Thanks for the correction and advice.

Pennywise6412d ago

I never would download Foxfire. I figured I would give it a shot when 3.0 released. I LOVE IT. Havent used IE except for some sites(that I have to).

PirateThom6412d ago

Firefox 3 was awesome once I got the plug ins to make it look and act like FF2

Kakkoii6412d ago (Edited 6412d ago )

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing25d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit25d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing25d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9225d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
