Yup, this month on WEO, as you guessed:

  Firefox            47.7 %
  Internet Explorer  35.1 %
  Safari              6.9 %
  Mozilla             3.5 %
  Opera               2.3 %


As far as particular versions:

  Browser versions:
  ====================================
  Firefox                       47.7 %

    3.0.3        19.8 %
    3.0.4        16.7 %
    2.0.0.17      3.0 %
    2.0.0.18      2.2 %
    3.0.1         1.6 %
    3.0           0.9 %
    2.0.0.14      0.4 %
    3.0.2         0.3 %
    2.0.0.16      0.3 %
    2.0.0.12      0.2 %
    2.0.0.11      0.2 %
    2.0.0.6       0.1 %
    2.0.0.4       0.1 %
    3.1           0.1 %
    2.0           0.1 %
    1.5.0.12      0.1 %

  ====================================
  Internet Explorer             35.1 %

    7.0          22.5 %
    6.0          11.4 %
    8.0           0.6 %
    5.5           0.3 %

  Safari              6.9 %
  Unknown             3.5 %
  Mozilla             3.5 %
  Opera               2.3 %

Unfortunately AWStats doesn't break down Safari and Opera by version

And the platform numbers here are slanted as one might guess, with ten 
times as many Mac and linux users as on the "consumer" sites I see at work 
(where Mac users are about 1% and Linux statistically zero):

  Operating Systems:
  ==================
  Windows     77.9 %
  Macintosh   10.1 %
  Linux        6.6 %
  Unknown      5.1 %
