This is probably why Firefox is quite high! People who use their site are more technical than the general user and so likely to use Firefox. However there is a good table on Wikipedia which compares browser stats across a few different sites and Firefox sits at about 30% which is likely more accurate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Summary_table Hi Jacob,

With your browsers stats, what was the sample, and what site were they pulled from? That's pretty good numbers for Firefox, and not so much for Safari, so I'm just curious where they came from.
