While Internet Explorer remains the dominant browser on the market, Firefox is making major inroads around the world, according to a study released by XiTiMonitor.

While firefox usage in North America is estimated around 14%, firefox usage in Europe and Australia is around 25%! Considering that Internet Explorer had vanquished any competition just a few short years ago, it is a huge change.

Europe has been a major battleground. While firefox controls about a third of the market in countries like Germany and Poland, it is very close to becoming the majority browser in a country like Finland.
