FIREFOX, the free website
browser, is making headway in the Internet browser market,
challenging the dominance of Microsoft's Internet
Explorer.
Websidestory, an Internet research firm, reports that Mozilla's
Firefox has cornered 4.95 per cent of the browser market, nearly
double its share three months earlier.
The report found that Internet Explorer has 90.3 per cent of the
market, down three points since the Firefox release.
Netscape, lumped together with other browsers, could manage only
2.7 per cent of the market.
