Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend

carbolic writes "The Firefox browser is ramping up as fast as Internet Explorer is ramping down. According to these stats posted from the Engadget logfiles, IE has dropped to 57% of all browsers used to visit the site, while Firefox is up to an amazing 18%! The Engadget stats reflect an early-adopter consumer crowd and backing those up, this chart from w3schools shows the same trend. I guess CERT's recommendation and a mature product are finally paying off for the Mozilla project. Less than 2 years ago, IE had a 95% lock on the market. Anyone else see a trend here?"

I've started using Firefox few months ago. I found it really cool. Then I learnt w3m. I've never used Firefox, anymore. go, text browsers! go!

Whereas with Office Update (required today to stop Microsoft from executing all your JPG images) it gets halfway through updating it and then says "Please insert original CD-ROM".
Aargh! Sysadmin, where is that office CD you promised blind you had a copy of five minutes ago? Did it get lost in the move between offices?
