In November, according to StatCounter which bases its statistics on the analysis of three million Web sites, Firefox 3.5 has failed to snatch a hair of Internet Explorer 7 the top of the podium in the market for Internet browsers. Indeed, the browser of the Mozilla Foundation has accumulated over the period 21.45% of market share when IE7 falls to 21.47% market share. Such a small difference it's a safe bet that the coming weeks are those of the lost crown so symbolic for IE7.

It must be said that the growth curves are shown on StatCounter eloquent: the rise of Firefox 3.5 is dramatically, falling to Internet Explorer 7 is a black run. Internet Explorer still remains, all versions combined, well before, and IE8 - recovering slowly former users of IE7 - should quickly come to elbow with the Mozilla browser.
