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???

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? ;-)
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.

mildly amusing!
Anyway, these days it's the minorities that seem to have more say in
everything :-)
I saw a few weeks ago some folks talking about various problems/issues
they were haveing with IE7, so I chose not to upgrade to it. As John
said, the new Hornby site works fine on IE6. I actually used Firefox
for about 3 months last winter on a friends computer and would agree
its probably the better program...but I'm just so used to IE after 12
years of useing it that I'm to lazy to readjust :o))
isn't an internet browser,
Of course, this all only really matters to people who design
browser-specific websites. And there won't be many of those types left,

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!
