I suspect this may be related to the image of Mozilla, as mentioned in the article, since this comes shortly after the announcement of the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox 1.5 may help to raise those numbers again.his consistent growth suffered a set-back when Firefox fell back from 8.71 per cent market share in June to 8.07 per cent in July, acording to web analytics firm NetApplications. Over the same period Microsoft's share rose from 86.56 per cent in June to 87.2 per cent in July, so Firefox's loss was Microsoft's gain.
