However, this is not true - not even when looking at their own numbers. WebSideStory have now removed the most misleading numbers in their report, and replaced them with more relevant figures. Using these (new) figures for a few calculations, it's clear that Firefox has seen the same average adoption rate of 0.021 percentage points per day since the beginning of December. Also, the decrease in adoption rate since November (when adoption averaged 0.037 percentage points per day) is only 42.5% [1-(0.021143/0.036786)=0.425] - not 56% [1-(15/34)=0.56] as the initial figures indicated.

Keep in mind that many users are running Firefox courtesy of local techies or a shared download and did not go to the Mozilla site for their copy. Just counting downloads is missing an important part of the overall picture. Is this counting downloads or Website login usage?
