From the Sunday Times:

"According to new data which I’ve verified from several sources say that Mozilla’s Firefox version 3.5 has successfully surpassed Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 in the global browser market.

The current stats on browser market share stands at, Firefox 3.5 with 21.93% of the market, edging past IE7’s 21.2% share. That said, Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 still collectively hold over 55% of the pie.

Meanwhile, the older versions of Firefox specifically versions 2.0 and 3.0 make up a mere 1% and 9% of browser usage, Safari with 3% and Opera accounting for less than 1%. “Other” browsers account for 9% of the market -- much of which is presumably Google Chrome."
