Speaking of Firefox…

… and in particular the Irish translation of … did you notice that Firefox has passed the 50 million user mark? Plus that’s 50 million of only Windows, Mac OSX and the generic Linux i686 install. According to ‘someone in the know’ if you were to add, for example, optimised G4 OSX builds, BeOS installations, and all the customised Linux distributions the real figure could be closer to 60-70 million. I wonder how many Irish localizations among those?
I don’t know if Mozilla keep those sort of stats but a French company Xiti Monitor have taken an interesting look at Firefox usage in Europe and have come up with some cool stats. According to their research an amazing 30.91% of people in Finland are now using Firefox. Germans have also taken to the browser with 22.89% of them using it while in Hungary 19.42% use it. Ireland’s usage is 10%. All the stats are in the site linked above.
