That's fine for the one or two percent that use Firefox! ;-)

Just tried the Hornby website and it seems to be working ok on my anicent shop computer, but I'm still running IE6. Maybe the fault is with IE7???

Hi John,

It's currently about 15% and rising fast.

Could be but every other web site I use works just fine. Maybe Hornby are just so far ahead of the game now they've gone digital ;-)

Last time I looked it was around 13-14%, and rising very rapidly. On my own website, it was around 25-30%, but then I changed ISP and lost the ability to be able to tell!

ZDnet reckon 20% across Europe as a whole, but only 11% in UK. Of course, the biggest model railway market in Europe is .de, and there Firefox has a

30% market share.

Opera has about 1% in .uk, rising to 5-10% in the Nordic countries, which figures.

And that report is 11 months old, so I'm sure the figures have risen again since.

So, John - you were saying? ;-)

LOL - I was saying it was a minority, although maybe a bigger minority than I thought.

Thanks for bringing that up John, it's at least week since I last witnessed a OE versus Firefox flame war.

BTW, is there any truth in the rumour that Simon Kohler built a new house and the chimney immediately fell off? :o)

That would be a very short flame war - OE isn't an internet browser, Firefox is! Besides, there isn't a flame war because Firefox is so much better that there's simply no contest :-)

(I knew what you meant though!)

My own feelings are that the Firefox percentage rise will slow down with the release of IE7 simply because IE7 has copied most of the best bits of Firefox, so many people won't change.

is mildly amusing!

Anyway, these days it's the minorities that seem to have more say in everything :-)

No. But it kept the group happy with a pointless IE vs Firefox thread.

Does it, personally it's bored the flanges off me, if I want a browser war thread I can find them in other (web authoring) groups...

Of course, this all only really matters to people who design browser-specific websites. And there won't be many of those types left, Once I'm In Power...

Firstly, there was no browser war here, just a bit of mild mickey-taking and commenting about market share. Secondly, no-one is forcing you to read something you don't want to. In Thunderbird, you just hit k, and the thread is killed. Presumably you can do something like that in whichever reader you're using as well.

mickey-taking

I didn't read it past the second message that started down the Firefox vs. IE road, it was only the message (that I replied to) appearing to start from the threads root that made me read it.

There are many threads that I don't read, very few get killed though, just individual posters!
