Is FireFox’s Market Share REALLY 13% Worldwide?

Every time I notice someone send me a screen grab, I see they are on Mozilla. You would think 80% of the world’s users were on Mozilla, though in actuality, Mozilla’s numbers are 100M users worldwide, and given a global web user audience of 772M (comScore), that means that 1/7.72 or 13% of the world’s web users are in fact on Mozilla. Considering how badly MSFT pulverzied Netscape’s Navigator to grow to a 95%+ reach at its zenith, that’s not bad at all. I’d say today IE gets 80%, Mozilla gets 13% or so and Safari, Opera, etc., get 7%.
In fact, I think I am one of the few people in our world who still has a tendency to first open IE. I do that, of course, mainly because I want to see what the bulk of WatchMojo.com’s visitors see when they come to the site. Make no mistake about it, while Mozilla’s growth as an alternative browser has been nothing but admirable, it’s reach has yet to crack 20%.
But as Steve Jobs once said, it’s better to be BMW or Mercedes than Ford or GM.

according to W3C (and this reflects the design, development, and informed community more than your average joe) FireFox has 34% of the market share. Which is good news :D
Although these stats far from reflect your average user, it’s good to see the steady adoption of FireFox over the past couple years. I remember getting excited when they had 15% almost 2 years ago.
Typo on the headline, it´s Firefox.
