Even crazier for Firefox
Almost a third of visitors to pcworld.co.nz are now using Firefox, according to Nielsen Net\Ratings. Last week, 30.72% of browsers to our site used Mozilla Firefox 1, 1.5 or 2. Microsoft's Internet Explorer still held its overall lead, with its various versions accounting for 62.8% of traffic.
Last time we checked in, during the second week of July, Firefox was on 29.05% and IE on 65.94%.
People are taking their time upgrading to the latest versions from either camp. IE 6 remains our specific version champ, accounting for 51.54% of visitors. IE 7 accounts for 11.26% and Firefox 2 11.46%.
Sadly, Crazy Browser, which was sub-1% in July, has now dropped off the charts altogether.

Comments
30% of your site visitors may be using Firefox but it's a shame the poll comments page doesn't display properly using Firefox - I'm using version 1.0.7 and the comments are all over the place.

Yes, Opera (and others, such as Apple's Safari and the original Netscape) are in a bunch that receive less than 1%. I think the Opera guys are concentrating on mobile mostly now.
re: Crazy Browser ... I wasn't even being sarcastic. I just liked the name ...

What about the other 6.48%? Is Opera there? Go Opera!

Why the heck would you lament the passing of Crazy Browser - looks like a re-skinned IE to me.
