Firefox 4 tops 100M downloads but fails to gain on IE

From InfoWorld: In the month since Firefox 4's launch, the browser has racked up 100 million downloads, Mozilla said last weekend.

But statistics from one Web analytics company showed that Firefox 4's introduction has done nothing to boost Mozilla's overall share of the browser market.

The 100-million figure was touted by Asa Dotzler, Mozilla's community coordinator for Firefox marketing, in an entry on his personal blog Saturday. As of late Sunday, Firefox 4's download counter stood at 103 million.

According to Irish Web metrics company StatCounter, Firefox 4 downloads have translated into a usage share jump for that edition since its March 22 launch.

Through April 24, Firefox 4's average share for the month was 7.3 percent, more than double the average for March. In the last four days, Firefox 4's share has exceeded 8 percent.
