So, this is the first month that I actually have a large enough traffic spike that I can generate useful statistics from. The only thing that skews my stats is I don't have enough "stupid" users (ie, those who are completely clueless on how computers are actually supposed to be maintained, and are quite happy to use Outlook Express, IE, and download viruses)... Firefox usage is probably closer to 1/3rd on Windows for sites that have a large population of "stupid" users. * Low traffic as in less than, say, 50k. Before around 6 months ago that was the norm.

What did your percentages look like in November or how about a graph on a monthly basis for the whole year? I'm a Firefox users, but just curious from a statistics point of view.
