Just for interests sake...

New York - Mozilla, a nonprofit company with just 16 employees, is stealing chunks of the internet browsing market away from Microsoft with its increasingly popular Firefox browser, Businessweek reports.
According to a survey released in January from WebSideStory, a website analytics firm, Mozilla's Firefox browser grabbed 4.6% share in six months and appears well on its way to reaching its goal of 10% market share.

Meanwhile, Microsoft's Internet Explorer slipped 4.9 percentage points to 90.6% - its lowest figure in 3 years.

Analysts say that if Firefox and other non-Microsoft browsers continue to gain market share, those 15% of websites that aren't completely compatible with non-Microsoft browsers could be forced to redesign their sites to comply with open standards.

nobody uses IE shells anymore. IE Shells are the future. Avant Browser, Maxthon, and a few others > Mozilla browsers

They are just IE but slightly different, it is still the IE core which dont follow the webstandards.

Mozilla software is Open Source and most hackers or computer people dont attack open source software.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

People tend to attack what is popular. These people wont care if it's open source or not, they attack to be able to infect users with spyware so they can make money.

maybe firefox can release monthly security and stablility issues fixes like the microsoft update... so they dont need to release a new version to fix these things...
