Firefox 3 Now Top Browser in Europe

After years leading the pack in Europe, Microsoft has lost its title as the number one web browser in Europe. The new leader is Mozilla’s Firefox 3.

Though the move is partly explained by a switch from many have made from Internet Explorer 7 to IE8, and when combining all of the versions of IE together, they still lead Mozilla by about 10%. Still, Firefox is climbing very steadily up the ladder and Microsoft’s browser hegemony may be in trouble.

The milestone may be largely symbolic for now, but with Mozilla already holding onto a dominant position on one continent (Antarctica), who’s to say the whole world isn’t next?

Firefox has also been making inroads elsewhere, including the United States. However, they still face stiff resistance here from not only Microsoft, but Safari and Chrome, whose users may be more like to use Firefox if they didn’t already use one of the two.
