Firefox Falls Further Behind in Browser Wars

“Linux user, how many different Internet browsers do you have on
your system? You have Konqueror if you use KDE, Iceweasel or
Epiphany if you use GNOME, and optionally, you might have Firefox,

downloads, you can bet that its usage is not close to the number of
downloads.
