Firefox Share Slipped in July for the First Time
prostoalex writes "Between June and July of this year, Firefox lost 0.64% of the users, while Microsoft IE gained the same amount, leaving other browsers at their usual zero point something share. Could recent security problems and lack of stability, reported by some users, lead to the decline of the browser that just passed 80 million downloads?" I think the other thing to remember is that while ~8% seems a lot, there's a still a huge amount of ground to cover -- and a number change like this is statistical noise. I should point out that my issue with noise isn't the absolute numbers; it's the somewhat inadequate measurements tools for this.

I notice that the moderators who are modding my comments down are using the immune-from-metamod overrated mod. Nice.
FUD stands for fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
I don't fear Microsoft, I am certain they are a monopoly, and I don't doubt my results. If (as I suspect from your posting history) you work for Microsoft, please work within your company to promote adherence to standards and interoperability with open source applications.
Any civil response is appreciated. If you reply with "Mod down!" again, I will filter you out.
