>>if IE still has "60% of the market", how can Firefox be "beating all
IEs in popularity"?
Easy: those two statistics do not extract data form the same population.
Browser use is measured counting hits on sites, with no discrimination.
Browser popularity is measured from what users say about it.
The difference is that most Mozilla users are competent enough to go to
the Firefox site,
download it and install it. From there, they can also participate to
forums, answer surveys
about how they like it and hate IE.
On the other side, many IE users use IE because it is the default option
coming with Windows,
it is what's get opened when they click (most of the time by accident)
on a link in a message
they get in Outlook.
Most of them don't know they use IE, and don't even know what a browser is.
So don't ask them if they like it or not ;-)
