Firefox 4 thumps IE9 in first day download contest
Unlike Microsoft's IE9, Firefox runs on Windows XP, still the world's most popular OS

Users downloaded nearly 7 million copies of the new Firefox 4 in the 24 hours since its launch yesterday, Mozilla's running tally claimed.

That number was almost triple the 2.4 million copies of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) that Microsoft claimed were downloaded in its browser's first day of availability last week.

Mozilla officially launched Firefox 4 Tuesday at around 10:00 a.m. EDT, bagging an even million in the first three hours. According to Mozilla's real-time calculator, about 6.5 million copies of Firefox 4 had been downloaded by 10:00 a.m. Wednesday.

... well, so far it looks chrome is still the fastest ...
... firefox4 is now responding in a more similar way to other browsers ...
... explorer is fast but should be setup to use google in the first place ...

... bing is a joke of a search engine, it has hard time even finding itself :) ...
... try to google the word "bing", you get 258 million hits ...
... but if you do it with bing you get only 5 million hits ...

... finally developers extensions on firefox are "way" above all the others ...
... so my recipe is: ...
... develop with firefox ...
... read the news with chrome ...
... and test your application display on explorer, just in case ...
