The Mozilla Firefox browser has achieved a market share of more than 20 percent in Europe, according to the latest figures released by French Web metrics firm XiTi.
XiTi, which based its figures on a sample of 32.5 million Web site visits that took place on Jan. 8, said Finland has the highest proportion of Firefox users, followed by Slovenia and Germany. It found that the open-source browser is used by 38, 36 and 30 percent of users in these countries, respectively.

The United Kingdom has one of the lowest proportions of Firefox users in Europe, accounting for only 11 percent of Web site visits there.

Interesting about the uk statistics being so low compared to everyone elses. I would assume those numbers wont hold long as Dell has began shipping all their computers with Firefox.

Microsoft can say all they want that they are number one in the browser war, but they can't rest long on those laurels. Firefox is screaming hot right now, and with very little word from the MS camp about IE7, looks like Firefox are poised to grab even an even larger share of the market.
