   WebSideStory is trying to cause a stir by claiming that adoption of Firefox is slowing down. However, this is not true - not even when looking at their own numbers. WebSideStory have now removed the most misleading numbers in their report, and replaced them with more relevant figures.Using these (new) figures for a few calculations, it's clear that Firefox has seen the same average adoption rate of 0.021 percentage points per day since the beginning of December. Also, the decrease in adoption rate since November (when adoption averaged 0.037 percentage points per day) is only 42.5% [1-(0.021143/0.036786)=0.425] - not 56% [1-(15/34)=0.56] as the initial figures indicated.

   m129384634734682.html]Firefox keeps seizing IE browser market share[/url]Although the speed of Firefox spreading decreased, WebSideStory analyst Geoff Johnston doesn’t see it is "stopping or flattening," but showing "steady half-a-percent-point increase each month." He thinks that Firefox’s "new features" are "what got them where they are today."[/quote]
