As a web developer and hosting provider, I keep a careful eye on browser trends. This article may be a sop to the open source crowd, as I see little evidence that Firefox is any more than a curiosity at this point. Recent reviews of browser stats for a high-throughput, US-based international airport site we host shows no evidence of firefox use. When Firefox gains 2 or 3 percent browser usage, then we'll talk. Right now it's beat out by Web-TV!
