By comparison, Microsoft's recently-launched Web Explorer 9 only netted one.5 million downloads in the coursework of its first 24 hours. Firefox three is also outpacing Web Explorer 9 in actual usage, according to statistics provided by StatCounter and Net Applications. They show that Firefox three usage represents between three and six percent of the total browser market whereas Web Explorer 9 is hovering between one and one percent.
Firefox three, which launched last week, has attracted considerable interest among expertise lovers. The browser was downloaded 7.1 million times in the coursework of the first day of availability alone. It passed 15 million downloads within the first 48 hours and is currently nearing 40 million total downloads.
It is worth noting that neither browser has been rolled out to regular finish users by the standard update channels yet the statistics are based entirely on voluntary downloads by early adopters. Mozilla's Asa Dotzler attributes the early popularity of Firefox three to strong grassroots support from the browser's vocal community of independent advocates.
Firefox's cross-platform footprint and backwards compatibility with Windows XP which is not supported by IE9 may also have played a role in boosting Firefox's momentum out of the beginning gate.
In the infographic seen above, Mozilla proudly points out that the total number of Firefox downloads in the first 48 hours alone exceeds the current total population of Los Angeles.
