Past year I can't say, but in the bigger picture:
Mozilla was big and bloated - mail, news, bookmark management, browser,
IMAP, LDAP, and every which thing was in there. It wasn't lithe in the
slightest.
So Firefox comes along. The New Paradigm (do one thing, well - ohhh,
ahhh, so original, like, what a concept, small and orthogonal). And
Firefox seems, perhaps I'm totally wrong but seems to me as though it's
been grabbing market share in a big way.
Just my personal, non-numerical data point of course...
