I’ve noticed for a while that Firefox browser share at sites I visit is much higher than the 5-10% we’ve been hearing; this InformationWeek article tries to find numbers for the blogging community, and they are considerably higher — in some cases Firefox is exceeding IE:

At Boing Boing, among the most popular blogs, the most recent statistics for the month of March indicate that 35.9% of visitors are using Firefox, compared with 34.5% using Internet Explorer.
[…]
Kottke.org, another popular blog, reported on Feb. 27 that 41% of visitors sported Mozilla-based browsers (one of which is Firefox), while 31% of visitors arrived with Internet Explorer.

I find the productivity boost, just to pick one thing, so compelling with Firefox that I never understood the 90/10 numbers. Now I’m hoping that blogger browsing is somehow a leading indicator for browsing in general, and that Firefox won’t remain a weak minority for the duration.
