it will work in IE8 or vice versa. You can assume that on Firefox 3.5. I
agree, that I could have worded it better. We definitely haven't "won" yet.
Also, that's why I wanted to use it as a rallying call (see finish off IE6
below). If you have a website please add it (it will add a little banner
encouraging IE6 users to upgrade).
Other than that I would really like other ideas for promoting Firefox in
India. Maybe -- Hand out pamphlets to webcafes/anywhere we see IE being
used, wear Firefox t-shirts.
Any other ideas?

Hi All,<br><br>According to StatCounter Global Statistics the <a href=3D"ht=

Mozilla (and the open web)!<br>
<br></blockquote></div><div>While I'm all for celebrations, I think get=
ting euphoric over this statistic is a bit misleading .. as one can clearly=
see from the graph, ie6 + 7 + 8 combined is still wayy ahead of Firefox al=
l versions combined. I definitely think we should celebrate Firefox's p=
henomenal growth, but I think taking that statistic and making it sound lik=
e Firefox is the browser leader can only be construed as desperation / misl=
eading.<br>
<br>Definitely congrats to Firefox 3.5. But lets not fool ourselves .... th=
