MOZILLA'S FIRST QUARTERLY analyst report has revealed a number of interesting metrics about the open source Firefox browser, particularly the fact that it has a thirty per cent market share.The firm's report (PDF) captures the state of the Internet 'through its own eyes', and it plans to release four a year. It explained, "We're a global community with more than 350 million people around the world using the Firefox Web browser. While we are careful to ensure the data we collect and metrics we track are fairly limited, we feel compelled to share and evangelise the little wisdom we're able to extract from our numbers."Included in its statistics are the facts that Firefox, Mozilla's web browser, appears to have a global market share of approximately thirty per cent, has seen the most user growth in Russia, and South Americans are most likely to personalise their application. Meanwhile, people in Antartica are most likely to use plug-ins. Plug in heaters, too, we reckon.Those who capitalise on the browser's tabs feature might be impressed to know that in one instance a user was able to work with 600 different tabs open. Typically users have just two or three tabs open, though.Most of the browser's users can be found in Europe, where it has just under forty per cent of the market. In South America it claims just over 31 per cent, and in both the US and Asia it has around 26 per cent.Did we mention that Mozilla claims some 350 million users worldwide?
