Firefox hits 20 percent market share
Mozilla Firefox usage share has topped 20% during two separate weeks in October while Internet Explorer has dropped to 71% of browser usage according to data from Net Applications.
Net Applications started reporting on Firefox in June 2008 and the browser has been consistently 18% and above. The 20 percent metric is an important milestone provided Firefox can continue to grow. And considering that IE hasn't been very interesting for quite some time it would seem that Mozilla should be able to keep taking market share away from Microsoft.

Well, not good. IE crashed so many times that is was impossible to surf. Not even my email account. And it doesn't has the "restore last session" feature like Firefox does. At least I haven't found it.
So now I use only Firefox in all my pc's. No problem what so ever. And if it crashes, and I know it will sometime, no problem. One click on "Restore last session" option and "TA-DAAAA", surfing just where I left it.
