Firefox 3.5 is World's Most Popular Browser
Firefox takes over from IE7.
Do you use Firefox 3.5? You and along with most of the web, it seems.
According to statistics provided by TheNextWeb and StatCounter Global Statistics, the world's most popular browser is Firefox 3.5.
Of course, Firefox's lead is only when counting each discrete browser version as a separate entity. With all versions of Internet Explorer moved under the same category, Microsoft is still the leader.
For Mozilla supporters, however, this is still a great milestone.

intel is ahead just because of the "in your operating system" thingy lol
Opera is in serious need of some kind of advertising push :\ It has many attractive features, and a lot of people switch to it on my recommendation. Addons it might not have, or some super fast javascript engine (though it's pretty damn fast anyway), but it's great for general purpose browsing.

Intel?
I've been really disappointed with Firefox 3.5. It crashes quite a bit for me on two different machines and the less said about the Mac version when trying to run Java applets the better. It also freezes for 2 or 3 seconds at a time when loading pages.
Probably not enough to make me stop using it, but annoying all the same.
I've been using Firefox for quite a while under Windows XP. Since Firefox 3.5 I can't recall a single time where it has crashed. Perfect doesn't exist in the real world, but it's a much better browser for me than anything else I've used. IE8 seems sluggish on my machine compared to Firefox so I only use that if I really must, which is extremly rarely. I wouldn't bother with an outdated browser like IE7 or Firefox 3.0 unless the older version was needed for a specific reason. To be honest, I'm not too suprised that Firefox is catching on.
