Firefox aims for 10 percent of Web surfers
ZDNET:The Mozilla Foundation expects one in 10 Internet users to be browsing using Firefox within the next year.
Maybe the browser wars really are back.
Bart Decrem, the marketing contact for the Mozilla Foundation, told ZDNet UK on Friday that he expects the browser's market share to reach 10 percent by the end of 2005.
"I think we'll get to 10 percent over the next year. We don't have 10 percent of the Web at the moment, but we have the momentum," claimed Decrem.
He is confident of hitting this goal as interest in the browser has been accelerating over the last few months. He said this momentum can be seen in the increasing number of downloads for each version of Firefox: version 0.8 was downloaded 3.3 million times in four months; 0.9 was downloaded 6.5 million times in three months; and the pre-release version was downloaded five million times in just one month.
