Firefox marches on
As for the UK specifically, only 18 percent are using Firefox. Full marks to Slovenia though, where almost 45 percent are using it!

There are a few website that aren't FF friendly and require that IE be fired up, so you can complete your browsing exprience.
At least we know the government is hard at work ignoring us FF users.
The JobCentreplus website that was reported in 2005 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4115806.stm) as not working for Firefox, still doesn't work correctly.
IE Tab remains my favourite FF add-on - it emulates IE7 within Firefox itself so you don't have to switch between applications. Of course it only works on Windows machine but then so does IE.

I haven't found a site that doesn't work with it yet. Highly recommended.
Thanks for the tip - I'll give it a try...
The percentage of Firefox users is going up, but I don't think it will ever have the majority share.
I think there are still too many users/surfers out there who only have IE install on their computers and probably haven't even heard of Firefox...
But still, well done indeed.
