Firefox 6 already sees bump in traffic soon after debut | ZDNet - 0 views

  • Firefox 6 already sees bump in traffic soon after debut
  • Firefox 6 just launched last week, and new research already sees the latest version of Mozilla’s browser accounting for a significant fraction of traffic.
  • After Chitika took a look at all U.S. and Canadian traffic between August 16 and 22, the survey found that Firefox 6 has already garnered at least eight percent of the total traffic from browsers and approximately 45 percent of all Firefox-stemming traffic.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • However, don’t get too excited for Firefox 6 just yet. Chitika found that the growth rate for Firefox 6 is starting to taper off, likely due to the fact that all of the early adopters have already downloaded and started using Firefox 6.
  • Chitika also found that Firefox 6 usage peaks during the morning and at the end of the day, but very early morning hours tend to belong to Internet Explorer. Yet, this phenomenon is only relevant to Firefox 6 and not previous editions of the software. It’s not clear what Mozilla could try to do to make up for this gap — except maybe start some kind of advertising campaign targeted at night owls and graveyard shift employees.
