The Mozilla Firefox web browser has increased its total global usage to 8.5% according to Onestat.com, a leading web analytics company. While Microsoft's Internet Explorer still dominates the global market at 87%, it has lost 1.6% of it's users since November of last year.

"It seems that global usage share of Mozilla's Firefox is still increasing and the total global usage share of Microsoft's Internet Explorer is still decreasing. It looks like that browser users of Internet Explorer 5 are switching to Mozilla Firefox instead of upgrading to Internet Explorer 6.0" said Niels Brinkman, co-founder of OneStat.com.

Last month we reported that Firefox smashed through the 25 million download milestone in only 99 days after release. The three main reasons why users are switching to Firefox are:
- Security
- Spyware Free & Less Prone to Spyware
- Usability
